Die Vertreibung Der Zeit vinyl

Repetitive, minimal avant-garde electronic music from the underground of Berlin. Ludwig Papenberg and Johannes Vester founded Alu in 1980 after the psychedelic group Sand. The following year, they released the single "Please Wait!". Although Alu came from the Berlin 'Kassettenuntergrund', it was a more brittle sound not too dissimilar from British bands of the time like like Nocturnal Emissions or Cabaret Voltaire. A group shake-up meant the addition of singer Nadja Molt and while internally marked as the second phase of the group. No studio recordings were released and the group appeared only at concerts, documented on two live LPs and in 192 Papenberg left, with Vester and Molt forming Alu III. In the accompanying text of their 1983 release Spiritual Renewal, they wrote: 'Our work lies in, where possible, storing a lot of sounds and rhythmic structures in synthesizers and rhythm machines to be released freely in concert. Texts and singing are also spontaneous inspirations.'
