Neue Deutsche Welle
 

May anyone recommend me any good Neue Deutsche Welle albums or artists or compliations?

I find DAF or Deutsch-Amerikanische Freundschaft to be phenomenal:



or anything from Die Kleinen und die Bösen.


:band:

I would recommend first two Die Krupps albums: Stahlwerksinfonie and Volle Kraft voraus. The first one consists of two long, noisy post-punk tracks, and the second one is more on the EBM side.

Der Plan is quirky minimal synth formed by Pyrolator who was briefly in D.A.F. I recommend their 1980. album Geri Reig:

Pyrolator whom I already mentioned. Inland is a really good album, electronic and more abstract

That's on top of my head and for now.I will not merge this with recommendation thread, cause it can stand on its own and I really think such exciting and fertile scene like German New Wave deserves a thread. Probably the most influential scene in Europe (outside of UK) in the new wave and post-punk time. Moved to the punk forum. (Hmmm..maybe we need post-punk sub forum...)
