Abwärts - Computerstaat EP

In 1980 this EP was a sign, against the ProgRock peers and against society, at least we thought so. Computerstaat is still a very strong and radical piece of music. In the end of 1982 everyone in Germany (including me) was mesmerized by Nena's red leather mini skirt, but Abwärts still got their message along. After Beirut Holiday Inn in 82 they got a little out of focus but they still have their purpose!

Computerstaat is my favourite Abwarts, as well as the Amok/Koma LP, both on ZickZack. I think they lost their edge after that slightly.

The Alkohol 7" from 88 was the last I heard of them and it was cool, interested?

Fantastic blog! Easily my new favourite! If possible, please put up the Abwärtssingle from 88!

Hoffentlich bin ich hier richtig! Die einzige Zick Zack Platte die in meiner Sammlung fehlt ist die FSK - Ca Cest Le Blues! Wer weiss wo diese zu finden ist? Ansonsten ist das hier eine rundum gelungene Sache! (Rückfragen an: 03817691516)
