Neue Deutsche Post Avantgarde (1988)

Very important 80s compilation gathering the best experimental acts of the German scene of this time. Limited edition of 2950 copies pressed in Germany for the Goethe Institute, Sao Paulo, Brazil. Only 150 copies remained for sale in Europe. The other 2800 copies were sent to the Goethe Institute & went lost there. I suppose the LPs were distributed among the people in Brazil, which were highly interested in avant-garde music after the great success of the EUROPEAN MINIMAL MUSIC PROJECT presentation in Brazil. It is known that Kodiak Bachine in collaboration with Elmar Brandt, director of the Goethe Institute of São Paulo at that time, participated of the launching of the LP Neue Deutsche Post-Avantgarde in São Paulo at “Cri Du Chat” record store.
The Portuguese title is “Uma Amostragem Da Musica Alema Pos-Moderna”.

Musicians:
1. S.B.O.T.H.I. (Swimming Behavior Of The Human Infant)
Real Name: Achim Wollscheid. Achim Wollscheid is a media artist whose work over the past 20 years has been at the forefront of experimental music. His work in sound has led to an interest in the relation between sound, light and architectural space, which he pursues through public, interactive and electronic projects.
2. Cranioclast
Cranioclast is a duo from Hagen, Germany, which produce various artistic endeavors, most commonly music. Usually those two identify themselves as Soltan Karik and Sankt Klario. They have their own label called CoC and were working with a number of like-minded bands, including Kallabris, Fetisch Park and A.B.G.S..
3. P16.D4
P16D4 was a German band whose music bordered on the industrial and on the cacophonous. On their debut album "Kühe In 1/2 Trauer" (Selektion, 1982) they managed to fuse the playful irrationality of Dadaism and the oppressive tones of expressionism. Roger Schönauer and Ewald Weber focused on an austere art and technique of loop and tape manipulation. Stefan E. Schmidt joined the ensemble on Distruct (Selektion, 1995), a deconstructed remix of sound sources provided by friends in the industrial scene. The double album Nichts Niemand Nirgends Nie (1985) delved into musique concrete and electronic improvisation. Tionchor (Sonoris, 1987) collects revised rarities.
4. Gerechtigkeitsliga
Members: Till Brüggemann & Ragnar. Gerechtigkeitsliga was formed in 1981. At that time, there were four German artists involved. The centre of operations was moved from Germany to London. Throughout the 1980's and the early 90's, the group was self-sufficient in producing music, films and videos. Multimedia Performances took place throughout central Europe and the USA. Gerechtigkeits Liga participated in many tape and some vinyl compilations in Europe, Brazil and the USA. (Gerechtigkeits Liga "Hypnotischer Existenzialismus" was also released as 12" red vinyl on U.S.A label Thermidor records. G.L`s first 12" was released on their own Zyklus records label in 1984).
5. Graf Haufen
Real Name: Karsten Rodemann. Started during the early days of the "tape revolution" in the early 1980's at age 14 to release audio tapes of his own music under different names. The label was called GRAF HAUFEN TAPES. Later he added other musicians to the rooster as well. The label was stopped around 1985. Later he released books and booklets for art exhibitions held at his own apartment - some of the artists involved are also musicians such as John Hudak, G.X. Jupitter-Larsen aka THE HATERS, Andrzej Dudek-Dürer, Das Synthetische Mischgewebe.
6. Mullah
7. H.N.A.S.
HNAS (Hirsche Nicht Auf Sofa or Moose Without a Sofa), emerged in the 80's German post avant garde industrial scene. The group was founded by Achim P. Li Khan and Christoph Heemann They are known for their radically eclectic sound and their sophisticated studio work. The work of HNAS is marked especially by an absurd sense of humor (their name being the first indication). . H.N.A.S.'s sound experimentation started in 1984 with a series of limited cassettes made for demonstration purpose or personal use. Their first LP, 1985's Abwassermusik reflected an interest in collages of samples, tape loops and found sounds, often repeated ad infinitum. The group then recorded "Melchior" with Steven Stapleton (of Nurse with Wound). The group released two more LPs during 1986-87, Im Schatten Der Mhre and Kuttel im Frost (both on Dom).
8. Cinéma Vérité
Noise, experimental, minimal Members: Andreas Hoffmann, Klaus Hoeppner
9. Frieder Butzmann / Thomas Kapielski
Thomas Kapielski German author, artist & musician.
Frieder Butzmann, Veteran German musician amongst others on Zensor label.
10. Werkbund
Enigmatic industrial/experimental band from Hamburg, Germany. The sound deals mainly with marine tales and myths from Northern Germany. So far, it is not known who the artists are. It has been guessed that Felix Kubin and Uli Rehberg and other artists from Hamburg might be involved. Some people pretend that both Werkbund and Mechthild Von Leusch involve the collaboration of Asmus Tietchens and Uli Rehberg, though Asmus Tietchens repeatedly and vehemently denied any participation in the band.
