Album Description2009 collection from the German Electronic duo, released to coincide with the 30th Anniversary of the release of their debut album. While British Electronic Pop pioneers were still mired in alienation or camp futurism, DAF presciently combined Disco and electronics in a new, distinctive variant of the Electro scene which was then current in groundbreaking New York clubs. Either leathered up or stripped to the waist and glistening with sweat, DAF looked as they sounded, all pumping muscle and sinew, the very physicality of their music upturning the then current clich? that equated electronics and alienation. DAF were the precursors of the Electronic Body Musics of Die Krupps and Nitzer Ebb, while their musical reductionism gave Techno minimalists the courage to pare music back to beats and atmospheres. 20 tracks.
