album review

Here is your dance-punk. For several active producers and groups in 2003, if not entire label rosters (such as Clone, Ersatz Audio, Interdimensional Transmissions, and even DFA), New Deutsch might be akin to finding out about several not-so-distant elder relatives. You can't blame these people for not knowing this part of history -- to most people outside (and most likely inside) Germany, almost every single group present on this disc was a nonentity prior to this compilation. Put together by Thomas Bär and DJ Hell -- whose Gigolo label is paying off a sizeable creative debt here -- New Deutsch functions as the Nuggets for German new wave/post-punk, with synthesizers and rhythm boxes replacing guitars and psychedelics as key components. Though it's obviously important to note that the whole thing is filled with energizing dance music played with rigid punk spirit, it's equally significant that the included German chart hits are often indistinguishable from the limited-pressing underground truffles. To budding post-punk and industrial historians, names like der Plan, D.A.F., and maybe even Pyrolator will be well-known, but it's not just these groups that offer up the best material. Two Grauzone tunes come out on top, while being quite different from one another: the echo-heavy "Film 2" is little more than a battering, rubbery machine rhythm and odd mouth noises, on par with the best Cabaret Voltaire. Later on, the swaggering new wave of "Eisbär" (a 500,000-plus seller in Europe) comes along, with a straight-ahead human drums/human bass rhythm interrupted by the occasional slash of guitar. Twenty-four cuts in all, with few duds in the crop. This is essential listening for a number of people, whether you're into the first or nth wave of post-punk, or if you think that Germany's contributions to '80s pop were limited to Kraftwerk and Nena. ~ Andy Kellman, All Music Guide
