1980 the zeitgeist played into the right hands. And who held the aces? In Bureau B's game,
Moritz R®
,
Frank Fenstermacher
and
Pyrolator
aka
Der Plan
. Tired of convention and full of enthusiasm, they encountered an audience who felt just the same. And with record companies too ponderous to sign up Der Plan, the wonderful Ata Tak label was born of necessity.
Normalette Surprise
is the second album by Der Plan, released in 1981, a good year after their
Geri Reig
debut. It is immediately recognizable as a Plan album, yet
Normalette Surprise
does contain a few, well, surprises. The first number, "Leb doch," is a brilliant pop song. One can say many (good) things about
Geri Reig
, but it does not contain any pop songs. "Leb doch" is built on a captivatingly taut rhythm, sub-cooled vocals and German lyrics. Hang on a minute, taut rhythm, sub-cooled vocals, German lyrics? Yes exactly -- Der Plan drew up the blueprint for what would soon become known as "Neue Deutsche Welle" -- the German New Wave. Although, "blueprint" sounds a little too benign. It was more like a big bang. Moreover, there was something new about it. Or rather, something old. Bizarrely, Der Plan were introduced by their American artist friends, including the controversial elocutionist
Boyd Rice
, into the amazing world of the German Schlager, a colorful universe of the absurd awaited exploration. "Kleine Schlager-Revue" and "Sie hat mich verlassen" are the clearest indications of this newfound passion on
Normalette Surprise
. Hence,
Normalette Surprise
presents the full range of attributes which would define Der Plan and the Ata Tak label: electronics and Schlager, noise and pop. And Der Plan's protagonists succeeded -- unlike so many -- in their mission of creating something original, something of their own.
