Sowas Von Egal 2 - German Synth Wave Underground 1981-1984
LP
Two years have passed since the successful release of the first "Sows von egal" compilation.
"Sowas
von egal" is a collaboration between the Hamburg record label Bureau B
and the Hamburg party series Damaged Goods where they present rare,
obscure synth & wave discs from the early 1980s which absolutely
deserve to heard. It was clear from the outset that “Sowas von egal 2”
would need to scale similar heights of excellence as its predecessor,
featuring carefully selected, sought-after, danceable tunes.
In
contrast to the first volume, most of the acts here were only active in
the early 1980s and have not released any records since then. The tape
artists were particularly invested in the DIY ethic – as is often
apparent in their sound aesthetics and the unbridled energy which has
lost none of its intensity today. Their art was seldom – if ever –
tempered by commercial considerations or sales strategies.
