Hi there,
I wrongly sent this to Haiko, I understand YOU are the NDW expert!!!
I'm a British journalist/writer/enthusiast.
I ran a website called WOEBOT, and now I run a forum called dissensus.
Among other things I write for The Wire.
I've been getting very into NDW over the past couple of years. Here's
what I've collected
• DAF 1st and Die Kleinen
• Pyrolator In/Aus
• Palais Schaumberg 1st
• Holger Hiller
• Abwarts
• Einsturzende Neubauten
• De Plan Geri/Norm
• Liasons Dangereuses
• Verschwende Deine Jugend: Punk und New Wave in Deutschland 1977-83
Comp
• Berlin 80 Comp
• Jochim Witt Edelweiss
• Les Vampyrettes
I'm thinking I'll check out the:
Als Die Partisanen Kamen compilation (no idea where to find a copy
though?)
Can you recommend me some things you think I might like? (I LOVE all
of the above....) It'd be a real favour.
If you're interested in trading I can send you some Grime, UK
Jungle/Hardcore. AvantGarde Music, Reggae, I have lots of stuff.
Anyway, get back to me. I love your website. Danke schon.

and i got this really fantastic reply back:
thanx for your mail and sorry fort he long delay in answering to it...I
have been on holiday some time.
You are right, I am very into NDW (which means nothing else than "German
New Wave" in fact).
It seems, that you are mostly interested in the less commercial
NDW-stuff, as I am too, so it will be no problem to give you some hints.
Here are a few bands, that possibly can interest you:
Atlantikschwimmer New Wave
Bal Pare Minimal Electro, fantastic!
Bärchen und die Milchbubis Wave-Punk
Blümchen Blau
Bernward Büker Bande
Camilla Motor poppy Wave
Camp Sophisto Wave
Caprifischer good Wave
Carmen Minimal-Electro
Deutscher Kaiser Minimal_Electro
Andreas Dorau /Die Doraus Und Die Marinas early stuff is great!
Eiskalte Engel
Extrabreit punky Pop
Fehlfarben 1st Album ist he best german record ever! Wave
Foyer des Arts early recordings are great Minimal-stuff
Geile Tiere arty Minimal-Wave
Geisterfahrer early records are best German New Wave
Grauzone one of the best NDW bands with Stephan Eicher
Ideal earliest Chart-NDW-band, good Wave
Matthias Schuster/Im Namen des Volkes brilliant!
Kapazität good Minimal-Wave
Kosmonautentraum
Krupps early stuff is like DAF
Lichtblick good Wave
Malaria/Mania D brilliant (female) Wave band, one of my favourites!
Mittageisen Minimal-Electro like Grauzone
Monopol very good NDW band
Neonbabies early band between punk and Wave
Nichts first two albums are great
Palais Schaumburg early singles and first LP are BIG, one of my faves
Profil good (Minimal-) Wave
Radierer Minimal-Electro-Wave-Punk
Recht Herzlich Minimal-Electro
Rheingold a bit like Kraftwerk, one of the first Chart NDW-bands
Stahlnetz really great and rare Minimal-Electro
Strafe für Rebellion like Einstürzende Neubauten
X Mal Deutschland first single is NDW, later they became a Gothic
legend
ExKurs great Wave
Maybe this list helps you a bit.
You should try to get the NDW Discography (book) by Ralf Strache and Kai
Eisenbläztter.
Try this emails of the authors:
xxxxxx@web.de (Ralf Strache)
xxxxxx@aol.com (Kai Eisenblätter)
The book features nearly all NDW releases ever. It´s in German language,
but the discography data is the best, you can get anywhere!
Here are some good websites (beside our own www.backagain.de ):
www.ichwillspass.de Links, discographies and more
http://www.christiankessler.de/ndwlisten.html discographies and more
http://www.punk-disco.com record listings and coverscans (section "Neue
Welle")
http://www.gesellschaftsinseln.de/punkbuch/index.html official site of
the book and CD "Verschwende Deine Jugend"
http://mitglied.lycos.de/RaFuchs/ndw label discographies and more
Labels which (Re-) Release NDW stuff
www.nlw.backagain.de our own label with CD releases of Matthias
Schuster and Exkurs - and forthcoming Westdeutsche Christen and
Kapazität and more
www.kernkrach.de Vinyl releases of real underground stuff from NDW

Good compilations are
Als die Partisanen kamen
UntergruNDW
Verschwende Deine Jugend
Kassettentäter 1-? (LP Bootlegs, REALLY expensive)
You will find much stuff on www.ebay.de (section: musik/deutsche
interpreten/ndw)
I can record you a CD-R with some of my personal favourites, if you
like.
Check out our releases "Matthias Schuster - Atemlos" and "ExKurs -
Fakten Sind Terror" (MP3s on www.nlw.backagain.de (sectionTonträger)).
Hope this helps you a bit. NDW is very complicated to explain, so don´t
hesitate to ask about special bands, labels or anything else.
