For more than two years, Zeus B. Held has been the keyboardist for the German kraut rock institution Guru Guru. However, his long-standing international career as a musician, producer, songwriter and arranger began in 1972 with his kraut rock colleagues from Birth Control. Six years and six BC albums later, after the release of his solo album "Zeus' Amusement", he parted ways with the band. - He explored new and interesting possibilities for himself with the use of a vocoder, especially in vocal phrasing. Together with drummer Manni von Bohr (Bröselmaschine), bassist Horst Stachelhaus (Birth Control, Message) and Helmut Fichtner from the Düsseldorf band Message as another keyboarder, he also brought the concept of "Zeus' Amusement" to the stage. - The album itself was released in 1978 on Brain; the cover design by Berlin underground artist Gil Funccius caused a sensation and sold very well, but unfortunately it was somewhat forgotten over time. This was also due to the fact that Zeus concentrated more on writing, producing and arranging and provided the right sound for artists like Nina Hagen, Dead Or Alive, Men Without Hats and especially Gina X Performance. - After almost 47 years, "Zeus' Amusement" is now available on CD and digitally for the first time. As a bonus, there are four new arrangements and remixes by Zeus.
