Grauzone : S/T (40 Years Anniversary Edition) - CD
Ref: 22638
Genre: Post-Punk, Electronic, New Wave, Cold Wave, Pop, Synth, Industrial, Experimental Beautiful double-LP on HEAVY 180g Vinyl and inside a 350gsm Sleeve with extensive liner Notes and including 9 bonus-tracks, not on the original album, including the highly influential Singles ‘Moskau' (1980), ‘Eisbär' (1981) and ‘Träume mit mir' (1982) + more! The pioneering band from Bern (Switzerland) had a short-lived but highly-regarded career which birthed a cult discography that still fascinates and resonates today. Consisting of core members, brothers Martin & Stephan Eicher and Marco Repetto + on-and-off participants Christian GT Trüssel, Claudine Chirac and Ingrid Berney, the elusive group broke new grounds in the early 80s, experimenting with punk and industrial music, early techno sounds, minimalism, new wave, pop and various electronics. With an innovative and polished approach to design, visuals, performance and all around style and philosophy on top of their superb music, the constantly transforming unit developed a whole experience - the Grauzone experience: wild and unpredictable, yet sophisticated and cohesive, or as Swiss music historian Lurker Grand would call it, "an Art band with a Punk attitude". Completely rejecting the music industry rules and refusing to play the game of promotion, touring, release schedules, and TV appearances even though they had a multi-platinum international hit with the song "Eisbär", the band quickly disintegrated in full convention-defying glory, leaving behind an inspiring music legacy for the world to discover and discover again, one generation after the other. Stephan Eicher went on to be, arguably, the most successful Swiss musician ever, with an international career extending from pop chanson to experimental escapades and collaborations with half of the world… Marco Repetto flourished as a techno and ambient producer, releasing multiple projects including releases on Aphex Twin's Rephlex label.
