Alexander Hacke & Danielle de Picciotto combine experimental film with music drawn from gypsy rolls, Italo-Western piano tunes, loops and Autoharp picking. They have worked in Berlin since the eighties, and tour the world regularly. This album, Hitman’s Heel, celebrates the restless life of a nomad.

Alexander Hacke (Einstürzende Neubauten) and Danielle de Picciotto explicate Sebastian Brant's 1458 novel "The Ship Of Fools" in a contemporary spirit, using a dreamlike world of electro-acoustic sounds, intricate projections, and magnificent singing to emphasize astonishingly up to date medieval themes.
