DER EISERNE VORHANG - Franzi 7'' 1982

Here's a little 7inch from Austria with two "nervous" wave goodies. Released as a appetizer from their only album which came out on Ariola. Der Eiserne Vorhang was such an art "All Star Group" around the O. Tannenbaum operator (clothing shop in Vienna's Jewish quarter) Ronald Fleischmann (he was such an art Malcolm McLaren of Vienna and co-founder of 'Panza Platte'). The a-side has with Franzi a nice cover-version of XTC’s 'Making Plans For Nigel' and is a superb one. The b-side is the title track of their album and has good critical lyrics, sung in the melancholy Austrian dialect how I like it. Real cheerful natures this people. Musically, the song's a monotonic electric driving one, ideal for excessive four-person activity in bed with lots of in/out...ahhh...oooooh.. and so on... Let's stay factual again, check them out worth a listen in any case. - They're also members of Heimat Bist Du Großer Söhne compilation + the essential De Guade Oide Zeit 3LP compilation.
