Gorilla Aktiv ‎– "Gorilla Aktiv 12/82" (No Aarhus Productions 83 ‎– Cass. No. 5) 1982

More DAF inspired German minimal synth punk from the days of 1982, when one had to play synthesisers with your fingers,and sync the drums to it by actually playing the drums! Crazy days!
The files on here are the digitally remastered versions, plus a few(4) bonus tracks from 1983.
Fucking great band.

Gorilla Aktiv ‎– "Nur Für Erwachsene" (Was Soll Das? Schallplatten ‎– WSDP 007) 1982/2003




What a better world it could have been if DAF hadn't gone gay disco?
Luckily DAF mark one copyists Gorilla Aktiv, carried the flag for one tape, and a belated EP, released in 2003.
A minimal electronic fusion between man and machine, from that short lived window in time between punk rock and MIDI. A vehicle perfectly suited to the German language.
All this and a taped porno sample adorning the best track ,"Ottos Pornos", as previously heard on "The Last Supper".

Tracklist:

A1
Montagehalle 2:37
A2

Various Artists - "The Last Supper" (Adventures in Reality ARR007) 1984








Fantastic, faultless Industrial cassette compilation, complete with fanzine, from 1984.Not a duff track on this,and a spectrum zx computer program to boot!......spectrum ZX programs themselves sounded not unlike some of the Drill'n'Bass stuff that appeared in the 90's from acts like Squarepusher and some left-field Aphex Twin.
The weakest tracks come from german group Gorilla Aktiv, but only because they are a carbon copy of early Deutsche Amerikanishe Freundschaft, but that's no bad thing 'cus by 1984 DAF were shite, and Gorilla Aktiv were excellent.
Best Track, probably the Smersh one; a distorted kind of House musick for an insane asylum.
Included with an 'Adventures in Reality' Fanzine, which was based in Coventry,and ran from 1980 to 1984.All these tracks were exclusive,and not to my knowledge released anywhere else!
Pro-printed cassette with j-card in snap case. Packaged together with a 16-page booklet, including a 3-page interview with SPK.
