MTC, Köln, Germany 28/04/99 by ANDREW SCHWAB

We wait. Look at the very stage , the instruments and wait. But then they enter the stage and start with "waiting `til you're gone#". My heart begins to move. It follows one of my favourite songs "ice guitars". This dynamic play , the sensitivity , the low part in a song and then all instruments get into it , to this full-melodic-soul-Zita Swoon-sound. The belly stumbles for joy and I think , please , don't stop playing. Later they play " at the barbers'" the song with a russian soul , " The ricochet" , "Jintro and the great luna" - only Stef at the organ(?) , "one perfect day" , "about the succesful emotional recovery of a gal named Maria" , "our daily reminders" , " my bond with you and your planet : disco!" and , "bombo". I lost some songtitles , because I didn't write them down. They also play a song,which is on the limited edition. Tom play this two voice samples - a great song. And when Stef gets with his whole body and soul into a song,he sings and dances,I think he feels every note of his song.I love his feminin motions. It is not a show - I hope so , that I don't be wrong. When they leave the stage I feel an emptiness. It was so emotional - like falling without a ground - that you leave this world for 1,5 hours to reach another. I only miss "song for a dead singer" - the song about the greatest singer Jeff Buckley. After the concert Tom and Stef say , that they missed the song too.But they couldn't put the piano on this small stage and so they can't play it. Tom said , it was good to play there(in front of 100 people) , because in Belgium and Holland they play mostly in front of 2000 people. And in July they will go into the studio to record new songs. In Germany they will be back in November. Zita Swoon , thank you very much. You touched my heart with the hand of your music and moved it.
