Homage to one of the few black Beatnik poets: Bob Kaufman. A project by Andreas Ammer ("Ammer and Einheit"), Notwist's Markus and Micha Acher and loop maker Leo Hopfinger ("LeRoy") - featuring Angel Bat Dawid, Moor Mother, DoseOne, Patti Smith. 

Sounds like a supergroup. Rarely have outstanding figures of such a variety of musical styles collaborated on one album to pay homage to a nearly forgotten artist, one of the few black Beatnik poets, Bob Kaufman. All Those Streets I Must Find Cities For by The Plastik Beatniks is an attempt to acoustically reanimate Bob Kaufman, to return the Beat to him in a transatlantic collaboration. It is a shimmering psychedelic, at times jazzy concept album, sometimes reminiscent of Krautrock or hip hop, about a Beat-era poet who was as great as he was forgotten. It takes spoken word to a new level, as a transatlantic showcase of musical avant-gardes and a joyful "sound archaeology" of modernity, in which the tracks of the "Plastik Beatniks" meet the best voices of America.

The 12 wildly different songs and audio collages, are based on lyrics by Beat author Bob Kaufman and were originally part of the radio play "Thank God for Beatniks," for which author Andreas Ammer ("Ammer &amp; Einheit"), Notwist's Markus Acher and Micha Acher and loop maker Leo Hopfinger ("LeRoy") formed "The Plastik Beatniks." On the eastern side of the Atlantic they composed music and crafted soundscapes. On the west side of the ocean, they asked three of the most renowned singers, activists and producers in the U.S. to recite or sing Bob Kaufman's poetry.
