The first result was "Herzschlag" ("Heartbeat"), an incessantly weird and catchy collection of nine tracks ranging from the manic ”In der Schwebe” via the funky ”Verfall” and on to the inexplicable finale ”Fasto”, taking in all points in between.
The next one was "Wir sind Glücklich?" ("Are we happy?") which came in 2006. It offers cleaner yet more harsh sound and features wider range of sounds, showing ever evolving musical expertise of Gtuk. From noise progression of "Introuu" through "Immer Weiter Weg", the first track featuring Gtuk's unaltered vocals, to breakcore quintessence of "Phantomm" and brain-squeezing "Ignoranz Part II" — this album yet again proclaims Gtuk as one of the kings of the genre.
"Illusions to the Max" was ready in 2008 and it is his last album to date. With this album Gtuk digs deeper into the mind of his listener with lyrics touching such subjects as religion, freedom, objectivism, existentialism, behavioral therapy, war, gender equality and dresscodes, apparently. It's hard to discern at first, though, as vocals are as distorted as ever, and beats are as thumping as never before. And he also uses pitch-shifting now, so good luck figuring out what it's all about.
In-between his major releases, Gtuk is no stranger to putting out some EPs with his fellow musicians. So came "Bad English Tour" with Nes and Fyoelk in 2006, split-cassette with Fyoelk in 2008 and a split-EP with Robotron in 2009. About as DIY as it gets, these releases were printed in very limited amounts and are so hard to find, that some believe they never even existed in physical form.
Gtuk is a whirlwind, a tsunami, a hurricane. His music sweeps you off your feet and leaves you laying down, trying to figure out what the hell has just happened. His vocals rip you ears apart and his music is for no weaklings either. Yet, it leaves you feeling longing, craving for more. Why? The world will never know
ich sag ja doch nur was du hören willst!

du hörst ja doch nur was du hören willst!
The song "ich sag ja doch nur was du hören willst!" by Gtuk is reflective of the dynamics of communication in a relationship. The lyrics translate to "I only say what you want to hear! You only hear what you want to hear!" The first line seems to suggest that the singer is not being honest in their communication, rather they are telling the other person what they want to hear in order to maintain harmony or avoid conflict. The second line appears to criticize the other person for only hearing what they want to hear, instead of actively listening and understanding the truth.
This song highlights the importance of clear and honest communication in any relationship. Without honesty and openness, relationships can deteriorate and misunderstandings can arise. The sarcastic tone of the song suggests that the singer is frustrated and tired of the lack of true communication in the relationship.
Overall, Gtuk's "ich sag ja doch nur was du hören willst!" is a commentary on the need for honesty and openness in communication within relationships. It serves as a reminder to actively listen to and understand each other, rather than simply hearing what we want to hear.
