A short-lived band from Berlin were System! and they existed from 1979-1982 and have only one record released on People's Records in 1982. Various compilations contributions, worth mentioning the Licht & Schatten album with two pieces were their first offer in the punk world. Here, we get nine pieces of solid punk rock, musically & lyrically in the major league, melodic and aggressive as I like it. In my opinion quite underrated band at this time and I think they deserve more attention. Why don't Karl Walterbach from AGR ask them to made more with the band remains a mystery. No matter, nowadays a classic and highly sought-plate that is be traded on any record fair to high prices.
Excellent! Großartig! Very rare indeed! Danke schön WDL!!!
ReplyDeleteI became intrigued by this band thanks to the Berlin Punk comp (Wenn kaputt...) that Weird System released the last decade. In that comp there's a song from an unreleased 1981 EP by this System!, if memory serves...
