Didaktische Einheit: Dosis 6 cassette

Description

Little is known about the mysterious German no wave group Didaktische Einheit, but one thing that we can confirm is that they were a fiercely uncompromising band. Dedicated to tearing holes in the paranoid fabric of their daily lives, Didaktische Einheit struck upon a sound that fused together every desperate aspect of their creative impetus. Dosis 6 shows this Didactic Unit in total control as they veer from the manic rhythms of Schamtanz to the ominous electronic throb and chant of Lebewesen. Frommigkeit slides around the disco in a hypno-gogic trance that PiL would have killed for; Mutterlieb follows in a frantic rush of noise guitar and inspired caterwaul. Stammheim is an unnerving journey into a madness inspired equally by Amon Duul (the first) and the effect of being surrounded by ruins. On the flip, the gradually building E-Norm-Ton resembles nothing so much as Neu! filtered through a river of cough syrup. Dosis 6 wraps up with the menacing flutter of Vorsorgepaket. A stunning album, for too long ignored, and now available on a remastered cassette with pro-grade J-card.
