Back in natural climes

A smart move? Irony of fate? Or simply but the secret masterpiece Nirvana? The fact is that the plan that Nirvana had 1993 their third album "In Utero", did not go on. With "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and "Nevermind" the trio around the singer and guitarist Kurt Cobain almost overnight superstars and as the "Next Big Thing" has been traded on the rock. Irritated by the great success and the resulting hardships associated with Cobain expressed "In Utero" Now his desire for originality in the music of his band as well as the return to old days of. Because so abruptly also the situation for Kurt Cobain, Dave Grohl Christ Novaselic has changed by 1 gold and 5 platinum awards alone until 1993 and for the popularity of Seattle-label Sup Pop were substantially responsible, so they are still a been band from the street, from the suburbs of Seattle that has accidentally gotten a big piece of the pie of success. Steve Albini, the man who sees itself as a sound engineer and not as a producer and even the sound of the Pixies and PJ Harvey in their their early days has documented without high production technical effort, did the bare minimum to make Nirvana sound as it now times were. He tends to avoid cooperation with the major labels, Albini broke through this production, although perhaps one of his principles, the result was and is for future generations to this day but still the most popular prime example of rejecting staged by media values, artificiality and commerce. "In Utero" was dirty, raw, loud and should "with tooth and nail fight back" against the hype be. The label Geffen refused only to release the album, because you felt the sound as "unsellable". Instead, they sent the producer Scott Litt REM into the race to manage the wayward pieces still later, but ultimately only the single "Heart-Shaped Box" and "All Apologies" was re-mixed. The irony: with only 6 platinum awards in the US was also "In Utero" a great commercial success and strengthened Nirvana's importance as revolutionaries without Being really been revolutionary or wanting to be.
