Die Tödliche Doris: All their music (8 hours) as mp3's. The Berlin avantgarde band started making sounds in 1980 and finished as planned after seven years in 1987. The most irritating to me are the voices which get more and more warped in the first track Vor dem Krieg of the first audio tape from 1980. Does anyone have an idea where to find their German lyrics? I have big problems to understand what they say. The lyrics seem to be rather political.

Phil at one faint deluded smile has some interesting tracks by P16.D4, another German experimental band from the early 80's. They were from Mainz near where I live right now with PD standing for progressive disco. The numbers are just the positions of the letters in the alphabet. Apparently before the Neue Deutsche Welle got big they played with bands like Der Plan, S.Y.P.H., DAF and Fehlfarben. All those became commercial around 1982, only P16.D4 stuck to their raw noisy approach not too far off from Einstürzende Neubauten. They sound great though you should check yourself.
