Pseudo Code – Licht
Date: May 21st, 2006; author: MvG.
Pseudo Code was a Belgian band that was active in the early 80’s. The band had a link with Bene Gesserit and can be described as an experimental/minimal pop band with a sound dominated by electronics.

Schatten Unter Eis - 1984

For the real connaisseurs of 80’s minimal electronics this record is a feast. It contains five tracks of authentic minimal and playful electronic music.

Bene Gesserit - Music For The Fun Of It
Date: March 2nd, 2006; author: MvG.
Bene Gesserit hopefully doesn’t need much introduction. It is one of the more famous minimal
electronics/experimental pop bands from Belgium from the 1980’s.
Gorilla Aktiv - Umsonst ohne Risiko
Date: September 27th, 2005; author: MvG.
I don’t think it will ever stop. This is yet another release in the endless stream of 80’s tape music re-issues on vinyl. It seems there was an enormous active scene in the early 80’s for minimal electronics. Now Was Soll Das Schallplatten is one of the labels reminding us of the music that was made in that era. Gorilla Aktiv is not be missed if you are a fan of this genre…

Dino Martini - Ferien
Date: September 27th, 2005; author: MvG.
Dino Martini is an obscure minimal artist from the 80’s. Ferien is the last tape he recorded and is now re-released on vinyl by WSDP (formerly known as Was Soll Das Schallplatten). It is a collection of extremely minimal and very crazy tunes. Most of he songs are uptempo with very fast repetitive rhythms, nice simple melodies (one finger work) and weird singing…

4 Kaiserlein - Die Welt der Musik
Date: July 9th, 2005; author: MvG.
Inside the sleeve is a little note from the label with excuses about the bad sound quality on the B-side. The old material could not be recovered any better. Well, in my opinion the A-side and the B-side don’t differ much in sound quality. Also, if you like your music produced very clean and clear you should not buy records from Was Soll Das Schallplaten anyway…

Die Egozentrischen 2 - Der Aufstand der Chemiker
Date: February 14th, 2005; author: MvG.
There seems to be a never ending stream of re-releases of obscure 80’s tapes on limited vinyl. Also Was Soll Das? Schallplatten has been releasing some quality records with 80’s German music for some time now. This re-release of Die Egozentrischen 2 is another wonderful crazy electronic minimal NDW piece. The music is neurotic and hectic like early D.A.F….
