Title:	Ein Jahr (Es Geht Voran)/Feuer An Bord
Label:	BUREAU B (GERMANY)
Format:	7"
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	BB 035EP

Officially licensed exact repro of this 1982 single, originally issued on EMI Electrola. Fehlfarben were formed in 1979 from previous members of Mittagspause, D.A.F., S.Y.P.H., Der Plan, and other musicians from the Düsseldorf punk scene. In 1980, they released Monarchie And Alltag (Monarchy And Everyday Life), an album recognized as one of the most important German-language rock records. The single "Ein Jahr (Es Geht Voran)" would be their only hit single, and was, in fact, disliked by the band members themselves, who had initially produced its slick disco groove more in jest than seriousness.

Title:	Glücksmaschinen
Label:	TAPETE (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	TR 171CD

Tapete presents an album by one of Germany's most legendary indie acts, Fehlfarben, comprised of former members of DAF, Mittagspause, S.Y.P.H. and Der Plan -- a "who's who" of the most influential bands of the late '70s German new wave and punk scene. Their epochal 1980 album Monarchie Und Alltag was one of the '80s most important albums, as well as being a top-seller, including the Neue Deutsche Welle anthem "Ein Jahr (Es Geht Voran)." Now, quite unexpectedly, they present Glücksmaschinen (loosely translated to "bliss machines"). It's important to listen to these 8 tracks without any notion of the historical importance/ballast of the band that produced them, for Fehlfarben prove that they still reign as post-punk/new wave masters. Produced by Moses Schneider (Tocotronic, Kante, Beatsteaks), this album was recorded mostly live, with no overdub sessions to even out the sound. Fehlfarben haven't sounded this fresh and vital since the peak of their heyday, with driving, abrasive guitars, and of course, vocalist Peter Hein's rousing lyrics. Thirty years after Monarchie Und Alltag, it would do well for every young band to have half the clarity and power of Fehlfarben in 2010.
