released April 22, 2002 on Radical Duke Entertainment (PIAS 473.0001.070)

Produced by Han Stubbe. Home recorded and mixed by Han Stubbe except “Red” mixed by Phil Evans. All music by DAAU. Artwork by www.antigrafix.com – photography by Luis Alvarez. “Green” contains an excerpt from ‘Love Will Tear Us Apart’ from Joy Division. Also starring Yamina Cheufra, YUYU and Laura d’Halleweyn.

This first release on the band’s own “Radical Duke Entertainment” label comprises music recorded for the dance play “Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain” (also known simply as “Kleuren”). The CD features 32 minutes of music and is completed by MPEG video of three tracks (“Indigo”, “Yellow” and “Violet”) showing excerpts of the dance performance by Compagnie Thor.

The performance soundtrack also included “A Radical Chinese Duke”, but since that song was released on “Life Transmission”, it is not featured here. Otherwise, the CD is about the same as the soundtrack. The record is divided into the different parts that also make up the dance play, where each part corresponds to the “featured” color.
