Musically, Germany is known mainly for its Krautrock (Can, Neu, Faust, Amon Duul) and Hard Rock (Scorpions, Michael Schenker, Accept, Rammstein), but this 1995 compilation of post-punk and alternative pop songs gives us a glimpse into the underbelly of a vibrant music scene. It's sung mostly in German and one track is produced by a non-German, David Lowery of Camper Van Beethoven. You gotta give the Germans credit because I wouldn't want to figure out what to rhyme Geschwindigkeitsüberschreitung with.
Buy this record for folding laundry into perfect squares while eating hazelnut truffles.
