V/A - Kulturschock Attacke #2 1987

An excellent follow-up to Volume 1 is Kulturschock Attacke numero two on Broken Rollbrett Records and belongs for me to the most important D-Punk compilations like those by Weird System and AGR. Twenty-two true nuggets are on here from bands that were either newly formed at the time and released their first recordings here, some only made it to a demo, others released some brilliant records (find them in this theater). Some songs are really exceptionally good, for example Result Of Boredom, Pestlilence, Silent Rate, F.O.H. or Catholic Sperms, whose songs are almost the highlights for me and which I would have believed had the potential for a great future in the Eighties. But the other musical outpourings are also worth listening to and I give these two volumes full marks; GREAT GERMAN NOISE ATTACK! Now I'm snipping four kilos of strawberries I've picked myself and in the afternoon there's the delicious SGE Burger. Is life great sometimes? Yes, it is!

ÄNI(X)VÄX - Punkrockers On Speed EP 1998

Time to pay tribute to a band which deserves your full attention. Scandalous, legendary & historical; Münster's cult combo Äni(x)väx. Founded 1984 by Adam (vocals), Frank & Fast Gonzo (guitars), Carsten (bass), Hakker (drums) and unfortunately they didn't make any record, only contributions on various compilations and this bootleg EP (limited edition) came posthumously out with all seven studio recordings. "To believe that this band's popularity was due to their musical ability alone would be a grotesque fallacy. Äni(x)Väx concerts also flocked to young people who were less likely to like punk rock sounds. Rather, these people were attracted by the spectacular trappings of the Äni(x)Väx performances, such as the street battle between punks and police after a concert in the Neuen Krug (1984) or a pizza battle 1988 in the Odeon." The band were known and notorious far beyond Münster's scene and toured nationwide. And that although hardly anyone knew how to pronounce the band name. Namely Änimälwäx. The name was a code for animal vaccination. Now, thirty-two years after the band's very last concert, their first record, Schock Und Drama, has been released, to which an elaborately designed twenty-page booklet is enclosed. Old photos, historical documents, lyrics and liner notes from Adam. A total of thirteen songs: six studio recordings and seven live takes, 100 copies in red and gold vinyl and released via Power It Up. Well, I can only say an excellent slab (I already have one!) and absolutely recommendable, a visit to their bandcamp site will clear up any doubts. Unless, you have no feelings for honest, loud, rough & dirty vibrations. In 1989 the band became history.

V/A - Kulturschock Attacke Vol.1 1986

This compilation from Sig-Tiu Records is really a decent one and stands in the Champions-League of the best and most important records of German subculture in my opinion, and is one of my favorites, even though the sound quality varies from band to band but that doesn't hurt the listeng pleasure. The band/song selection is terrific, and most of them haven't release anything else. Somehow I can't help but I feel a slightly dark touch with clear announcements in between and I don't mean that negatively, on the contrary, every song is absolutely great and by and large one an enjoyable slab, 1oo% - B.t.w. the second volume has to go through the qualification first and will follow someday. - I'm sure these sixteen songs are able to fascinate you, so enjoy the compilation with its two lyric sheets and off into the weekend!
