Provenance

Where it came from

Released in 1981 on the influential Hamburg-based independent label Zickzack, this compilation serves as a quintessential document of the early Neue Deutsche Welle scene. The label, founded by Alfred Hilsberg, was instrumental in transitioning German underground music from punk toward the experimental, synth-driven aesthetic that defined the era. The album was conceived to capture the vibrant, fractured spirit of the German DIY scene during a period of significant cultural transition.

The album's design and track selection reflect a deliberate departure from mainstream pop sensibilities, favoring the raw, often idiosyncratic output of bands like D.A.F. and Palais Schaumburg. By curating a snapshot of the 'Zickzack' sound, Hilsberg sought to provide a platform for artists who prioritized artistic subversion and rhythmic experimentation. It remains a historically significant artifact of the post-punk movement in West Germany, noted for its grit and uncompromising approach to production.
