{"product_id":"730003319617","title":"Various Artists: Jd Twitch Presents Kreaturen Der Nacht (Vinyl LP)","description":"Strut present an exclusive new compilation curated by Optimo's JD Twitch, 'Kreaturen Der Nacht', bringing together classics, rarities and oddities from Germany's original post-punk and independent scene from 1979 to 1985. This was an era of particular artistic upheaval in Germany; emphasis was placed on expression rather than technical perfection, artistic impact rather than skill. Bands consciously abandoned the English-speaking mainstream with German band names and lyrics. Although we had a small underground scene, it was very vibrant, explains Gudrun Gut of Malaria! Bands like Die Haut, our first band Mania D., Malaria!... we organised gigs ourselves, hung around together in a handful of clubs like Risiko or Dschungel and went to gigs at SO36. West Germany had other regional scenes too: Düsseldorf and Köln around Der Plan and the Ata Tak label and there was the Hamburg side with Abwärts. Germany didn't have a real music industry like the US or UK back then.
