Imagine it’s the early 1980s and nobody believes in the future: the world is hanging by a thread. The political high-wire act becomes the impetus for something completely new – punk and new wave explode in the German-speaking world. At this time, when tomorrow seemed bleak and the rules were thrown overboard, a few found a voice that screamed wildly and creatively into the abyss: the compilation »Als die Welt noch unterging« on Tapete Records captures precisely this moment.
Unexplored underground
Alongside the fourth edition of Frank Apunkt Schneider’s book, which documents the development of punk and the Neue Deutsche Welle, there are also well-known names such as DAF and Fehlfarben to discover, especially the underground that didn’t make it to the surface. From Kosmonautentraum to Carambolage: this collection is the perfect soundtrack for all rebels who want to be blasted into the raw energy of the early eighties. And because it’s so beautiful, a limited clear vinyl edition of the record is available exclusively from HHV Records.
