VARIOUS ARTISTS – Schadstoffklasse grau LP D 2010 Hertz 030 13 Tracks 42'54'' Jörg and Heinz from KernKrach/Hertzschrittmacher have always been giving comtemporary minimal electronics acts a chance to release their music on vinyl. While sometimes the musical content may have been rather questionable (for professional musicians or reviewers?!), they have always regarded the label most probably as a punk label which is not about releasing the perfect music, it is about releasing music that is made by people like you and me, music that you simply like from listening to it, from people that you like, that share common interests and that become friends so easily when you meet them. They always remained true to themselves, and that’s what made them and their label so sympathetic over all those many years. So, on this new compilation, there is only contemporary European minimal electronics acts, or „Unerhörte Klänge aus den dunklen Kellern der Republik“ (engl: „Unheard/Egregious/Outrageous sounds from the dark cellars of the republic“) as the subtitle suggests, so do not expect highly sophisticated electropop or dance music on here, it’s all minimal, it’s simple, it’s lo-fi, it’s raw electronics, it’s human. Those knowing the label will know what to expect and they will love it for sure, the rest of you shall give it a try, it is still easy to consume and harmless all-electronic music from: LZ 129 (D), DIGITAL MONGOLOIDS (D), LAS MAQUINAS DE LA GUERRA FRÍA (ES), DER DEBILE REST (D), KASSETTENFACHENTSTAUBER (D), FRIENDS IN PLASTIC (BE), CONTROLLED COLLAPSE (UK), FABRIK OHNE STROM (AT), KLING KLANG (LX), MISSES YUKI OKAMI (D), LEGODROID (DK), LES MISERABLES MINIMALISTIQUES (F), and MANN MIT BEIN (F). LPs are new, insert and limited to 300 copies only.
