Nostalgie Eternelle

Twee Keerlkes Kwamm Van Leer (2cd)

.../Ostfreesland'. Both sad, bored and on the rebound from a broken Love affair, Dieter Mauson & Stefan Heinze (a.k.a. INOX KAPELL) run into one another in the streets of the North-Western German town of Leer. The post-punks get on well, both being record collectors and adherent lovers of the Neue Deutsche Welle and the industrial and electronic musical underground. An upcoming underground music festival in their hometown is the perfect opportunity to blend Mausons bass and guitarplaying with the electronics of Heinze. Their angst-ridden poetry gets a second life as lyrics. The home-taping is done literally in Inox bedroom, and Dieter's poetry delivers the name that will stick: NOSTALGIE ETERNELLE (Eternal longing). With a musical pedigree ranging from DEAD KENNEDYS over JOY DIVISION and DER PLAN to EINSTURZENDE NEUBAUTEN, NOSTALGIE ETERNELLE delivers a mixture of minimal electronic experimentalism, post-punk, Neue Deutsche Welle, and the original punk esthetics still seep through the short, raw and "simple" compositions with biting vocals. Being in touch with the cassette scene since 1981, and for reasons of both economical necessity and the need for DIY independence, tapes become the exclusive vehicle for the releases of NOSTALGIE ETERNELLE. The international cassette network is put to maximum use, and in only five years time no less than 10 tapes and 120 contributions to compilations are released. Apart from all the usual European/American suspects in the hometape network, tracks of NOSTALGIE ETERNELLE make it as far as Asia, Australia and even Africa. This double-CD features a selection of 24 tracks out of the HUGE catalogue of recordings of N.E. CD1 is dedicated to their home-town Leer, CD2 to the German city of Mainz.
