Various Artists: DDR60
(VEB89 000CDR)
VEB89’s first pre-release is the long-awaited CDR compilation DDR60. Commissioned by Sz. Berlin in 2009 for the 60th anniversary of the DDR, it is officially released on the 65th anniversary in October 2014. With a range of standpoints from pro to contra to ambivalent, the artists open some thought-provoking new perspectives.
Featuring Sz. Berlin, The Party Machine, Gerechtigkeits Liga, Last Dominion Lost, The Pain Machinery, H3NR!K, Kristus Kut, Groupe T, Eva3 (remixing Sz. Berlin), Special Victim and Orgonautic, DDR60 embraces EBM, martial industrial, dark ambient, power electronics, hardcore post-new beat and even East German-inspired space pop.
Presented in a 20 page A5 booklet with artwork by the contributing artists, the compilation features 11 sonic commentaries on the East German state and its history. Released in an edition of 100 numbered copies, DDR60 is available directly from the label: info[at]VEB89.org
