Germans Experimenting

I recently acquired for the princely sum of 50p a compilation released last year by the Hamburg based Bureau B label. It rejoices under the very snappy title "Eins und Zwei und Drei und Vier, Vol. 2 - Deutsche Experimentelle Pop-Musik 1978 - 1987", As it is the second volume it should perhaps have been called "Fünf Und Sechs Und Sieben Und Acht" instead.

I was familiar with a few of the names featured on the compilation, such as Cluster and Thomas Dinger, but the majority were previously unknown to me. Walter, on the other hand, probably knows most of them personally.  

Here's a couple of tunes from the compilation. If you like them you can find the album and many more German goodies both old and new on the Bureau B Bandcamp page.

"Leihst Du Mir Dein Ohr" - Günter Schickert

"Do The VoPo" - Frieder Butzmann & Thomas Kapielski

Also big in Germany in 1979 - Bernhard Brink. Paul Nicholas generously lent him his hair for this performance.
