Die Vertreibung Der Zeit (1980-1986)
This is a compilation of material of the early 80s Berlin based group ALU. Although the band emerge from Berlins cassette underground, their brittle sound is closer to the likes of Nocturnal Emissions or Cabaret Voltaire in England than to their German counterparts. David Tibet, treading a similarly radical path with Throbbing Gristle, pens these words on ALU: "With superficial similarities to some of the other 'cold-wave' groups of the Berlin scene of the time, ALU possessed a sharp, cutting and motorised beat with the guttural sound of those at war with anything around them."
