This mercurial Neue Deutche Welle "didactical unit" discharge thrillingly scabrous and prickly no-waveish sturm und drang, their great lungfuls of malcontent disgorged in a very Christoph Anders (Cassiber/Toto Lotto) way over a hotbed of Ravenstine-ian synth buzz, flutter and grind, sax blurt and percussive clatter. One of the best from the down-in-the-mouth wing of the NDW underground.

Scabrous. Great word, had to look it up. This is FANTASTIC, both the "song" side and the "levitating throb" side.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what year it was, and what I was listening to meanwhile. Possibly Echo and the Bunnymen. I feel so ... parochial. (Not that EATB weren't a fine band, but they could have used a bit more, um, "scabrous" in my opinion.)
Thanks for the ongoing enlightenment.
the Didaktische Einheit 1981-1983, I was one of the bassist and the singer also background noises...Ich will zurueck in der Mutterleib, was one hit song this time.
