tom diabo - suspicious (germany, 1984)
unknown, much loved german outsider joy division approach. goosebumps, really.
Deutsche Wertarbeit - Deutscher Wald (German Forest)
“Rare, long out of print 1981 solo LP, originally on Sky Records by Dorothea Raukes (one of the few female artists in the Krautrock scene). Instrumental, hypnotic synth textures in a similar vein to other synth pioneers from the era (Cluster, early Tangerine Dream, Wolfgang Riechmann).”
A wonderful gem of an album. The music is ‘happy’ and simple. 500 hand numbered copies on red vinyl are available through Medical Records.
SUZY ANDREWS- TEENAGE ICEAGE (1982)
mad song. very similar to eisbär from grauzone, but still strikingly good.
