*********************
bandvita:
norbert, thomas, steve and uli played in different formations from the rhein-neckar-area steve and thomas worked on diverse studio-projects together, smitty d. was no stranger within the new york underground/hip-hop scene before coming to germany.
spinelli XYZee was founded by norbert and thomas.
PSYCHEDELIC UNDERGROUND RAP was born.
with some material arranged by norbert and thomas they went to steve in his analog 8-track-studio in ladenburg/heidelberg. the influence of steve robinson (former aera, twenty sixty six) made a great impact on the originality of the project. new songs emerged in 1993 in berlin where the collaboration with jost hohenberg started.
the interest of labels/producers was huge, but there was a lack of capturing the soul of the music.
we didnt go for it - no deal!
spinelli was buried and disappeared for over 30 years before reincarnation in 2024
