V/A-BONNER RACHE, TAPE, 1981, GERMANY

A compilation full of frantic Neue Deutche Welle minimal synth craziness, mostly highlighting projects featuring Stefan (aka Stiev A.) of Haushaltswaren/Anlieger Frei (also posted on Mutant Sounds) and the Dauerblumen/Datenverarbeitung labels, whom we can thank for sending me the contents of this post. Issued on cassette in 1981 and reissued on micro-edition CDR circa 2003, this bolt of freaked out wonderment highlights another seam of the endlessly fertile NDW underground, the rough 'n' ready grit and forcefulness of some of these tracks pushing the proceedings into almost synth punk territory at times.
