GERMAN BY MIDNIGHT
I’m in the process of reducing my 70s and early
80s record collection – mainly Punk and New Wave and Art Rock – as I have done
with my 60s records. Now it’s time for some German products.
I am also quite thrilled to listen to what I find
in my record boxes. That is why I have decided to compile a couple of tunes on
special CDs. All these tunes are up for sale. Let me know if you’re interested
before the officially appear with a price tag on discogs in the near
future (and naturally more, but I’ve still got to compile a selection of them).
The German underground music scene in the late
70s and early 80s was something special. Unlike the British Punk scene it was
not triggered by social protest and anti-Thatcherism, but rather developed from
an art school scene. Germany in those days was liberal to a high degree, and
thus the recorded output was mostly different from those Anglo-American
counterparts – however, a few critical lyrics sneak in. But they never questioned
the general state of things. Being bored was a more prominent topic.
Enjoy German sounds for
a start: More will follow.
