V/A - Planet Punk #4 2005

Second and last part of Planet Punk and with Volume 3, this little self-made series is already complete. H2D#26 is another tidbit full of rare stars from international bands that are still kicking ass, much in demand and popular in our fucking disillusioned times which bring little decent music to light in my opinion. Music is like inventions, there is nothing innovative that can really impress me, hardly any wow factor or thing that I can really admire. And I would say that for almost twenty years. Speaking of music, we all hear & see the so called "combos" thrown together, the TV shows which offer only shit and are played over and over by radio stations, all this crap is boring, repetitive and only geared towards profit, commercial shit and really sucks. It's really intoxicating to get acquainted with such music as on this further fantastic compilation and to eke out an existence far away from this dead & dull society. That are the words for Sunday, Amen! Enjoy the vibes of the good ole days!

FRONT - Desorientierungspunkte 10'' 2008

This ingenious band is a piece of cream and alive damn brilliant and were a new highlight for me of new German punk bands back then. We are talking about Front from Wiesbaden, a five piece founded 2003 as a coverband of various old punk/wave combos like Abwärts, Male, etc... The experiment succeeded and soon the first own songs were written, which finally appeared 2007 on their debut Bitte Recht Freundlich. This is the second of finest punk quality, including a cover version of SYPH and comes as, my favorite format, 10Inch. German-language, minimalist songs, deeply rooted in the eighties, guarantee nothing for hi-fi fans, but just right for us old sacks. Trendy is something completely different and that's exactly no matter to Front: it goes originally to the thing, it is not whistled on modernity and fat sound, instead melodic punkrock with unusual lyrics with which nothing can go wrong. The record came as a limited edition in clear vinyl and cool artwork. A real masterpiece! Now the second Allgäuer und back to Backgammon. 🍸

NEONBABIES - s/t LP 1981

Ahhh.... fine stuff now from the Neonbabies: they came together at the beginning of 1979 in Berlin. Among its founding members were the sisters Inga Humpe ("DiLemma") and Annette Humpe ("Anita Spinetti"). The group made its first appearance in the spring of 1979 at the Gasthaus an der Havel and the gigs were the highlight of the concert season 1979/80. Later they were able to make their first recordings at the senate's own Beat Studio with Nikolaus (guitar), Conny (bass), Toni (drums) and Reinhard (saxophone). The first EP (I Don't Want To Loose You) came out early 1980 and includes a first version of the later Ideal killer Blaue Augen, in autumn then the 2nd EP Nervös. The band were now an integral part of the Berlin music scene and were worshiped as cult. 

In early 1980, Annette Humpe founded the band Ideal and was replaced by singer Petra (Miko) but she was only heard on the debut album and this was released on the Berlin independent label Good Noise Records in 1981 and sold ca. 16.000 times, Nikolaus said: ''We were never ideologically defined. Good Noise said: we make the record with you - and then we signed a contract for a plate". The music is a cocktail of early german punk (KFC or S.Y.P.H.) and New Wave & Pop. 

In 1982, Dave Hutchins produced the 2nd album (Harmlos) @ Conny Plank Studio which was released on Ariola Records, followed by a tour through Germany. After the quit of Nikolaus, he was replaced by Toni Kambiz, the group engaged Drafi Deutscher as producer of the 3rd 7Inch 'Ich Bin Ein Mann' but the sale was very much less, far far behind expectations. The last album '1983' was recorded with Gareth Jones in Berlin Hansa Studios and also appears at Ariola. A short time later, the group broke up. Conny left and Inga participated around the project DÖF which was produced by her sister and the single Codo became a great fuckin' hit! With Eiskalte Engel the last Neonbabies 7Inch was done and it was a remix of the title Engel from the 3rd album and was considered as farewell gift for the fans. Enjoy now fourteen crunchy poppy bubbles from album #1.

V/A - Jetzt Oder Nie! 2020

Willkommen zu einer neuen Compilation aus dem Hause WDM Records, und #007 ist einmal mehr hervorragend bestückt mit rarem deutschen Untergrund von 1979 - 1986, die Daten lagen unentdeckt auf einem USB Stick den ich zufällig reaktivierte und all das wurde mir X-Mas 2017 von Herrn Reinhard geschickt. An für sich bin ich sofort dabei reinzuhören weil ich weiß, es ist immer exzellenter Stoff, doch hier lief's irgendwie anders. Nun, jetzt isser da; Part VIII wieder randvoll aus einer bunten Palette mit Pop, Rock, Punk & New Wave Goodies von diversen Singles, Demos, Samplerbeiträgen & Live Stücken die kaum jemand kennt, inklusive mir selbst. Der Titel ist jetzt nichts spezielles, mir kam eben kein anderer und so wurde es einfach der Opener und Erdbeeren mag ich gerne, so ist das Cover ebenso ein zeitgemäß unspektakuläres geworden (dem Arm geht's inzwischen wieder besser). Genug Worte, zieht euch das Teil rein und Lob oder Kritik sind wünschenswert. Part IX wird definitiv anders, versprochen.

Welcome to a new compilation from WDM Records, and #007 is once again excellently equipped with rare German underground from 1979 - 1986, the data was undetected on a USB stick that I accidentally reactivated and all of this was sent to me X-Mas 2017 by Mr.Reinhard. In itself, I immediately listen to it because I know it is always excellent material, but here it was somehow different. Well, now here; Part VIII again full to the brim with a colorful palette with pop, rock, punk & new wave goodies from various singles, demos, sampler contributions & live pieces that hardly anyone knows, including myself. The title is nothing special, no other came to me and so it just became the opener and I like strawberries, so the cover has become a contemporary unspectacular one (the arm is doing better now). Enough words, suck the file in and praise or criticism is desirable. Part IX will be definitely different, I promise.

MITTAGSPAUSE - s/t CD 2004

Before Fehlfarben was Mittagspause. The glory of Mittagspause is bigger than their song repertoire. Three singles appeared during the life of the band, as well as contributions to two samplers. Musically, the band had swum early from the traditional punk and the stylistic device of the irony discovered for itself. Their fame is based mainly on the sovereign and non-pathetic handling of their singer Peter Hein with the german language. Mittagspause came in 1978 from the early Düsseldorf punk band Charley's Girls and persisted from Peter Hein, Franz Bielmeier on bass & guitar, as well as founder of the Rondo label, the drummer and later painter Marcus Oehlen, as well as former S.Y.P.H. guitarist Thomas Schwebel. The first cast also included the later DAF singer Gabi Delgado-Lopez. Already in 1980 the band disintegrated, their last studio recordings remained unpublished for more than ten years. Hein + Schwebel devoted himselfs to the Fehlfarben, Oehlen of art and art music (Vielleichtors/Red Krayola) and Bielmeier next to his label Rondo the drugs. Fortunately, they have tried a reunion so far, but a retrospective with unpublished Material in preparation, and also Mr. Bielmeier lets under the pseudonym "Sister Ray" again hear music...

Captain Trip Records from Tokyo has finally packed all studio recordings of the band on a CD in 2004. All shots are from 1979. The five previously unreleased live recordings, including a cover version of Trios "Da Da Da" date from 1983 & the CD was mastered in the Atatak Studios by Pyrolator.

V/A - Bloodstains Across Germany 1998

I think it's a great choice to open a delicious beer on a Friday morning and present another Bloodstains killer compilation. Today to guest in the heart of Europe: Germany. The German punkscene has born numerous fantastic bands in their early days, which have released numerous essential records which still haven't lost nowadays none of their explosiveness and sharpness (a few examples in the blog). Politically, ironically, self-critically, cheekily, provocatively and of course anarchistically classics were recorded and in twenty-one classics immortalized on this slab. Und damit nicht genug; a second compi was made a short time later which I will post shortly. A nice intro from the back cover for you: "Achtung! you filthy punkrock scum. It's time for a new edition of the wonderfully sick Bloodstains records. This time we take you to scenic Germany, home of Auschwitz, Jägermeister and pretty peasant woman. Hard to believe, but there was a time when those Krauts were actually pushing something then schnitzel and beer." Funny or... let's go crazy, enjoy the music & have a sunny delicious weekend!
