hey baby hop

Der Plan are progenitors of the dada children's-toy-instrument-sounding strain of german new wave and they do it best. The music is playful but somewhat sinister; creepy in a good way. Genius.

Der Plan - Alle Sieben Jahre
Der Plan - Spacebob

Perlen collects songs from their early albums, but it doesn't contain my favorite Der Plan song "Und Dan" - video below. If anyone has an MP3 of this song please send, I don't have it.

love is a wonderful color

CD reiusse of The Associates' third album, Sulk, 1982. Trouserpress pans it for all sorts of reasons (tinny production, self-consciousness, dramatic posing), but there's nothing wrong with pretentiousness or over-the-topness for me. Or tinny production, as long as the melodies are this strange and interesting. Billy Mackenzie's vocal flailing and histrionics are grrrreeat.
