Tapetopia 001
-- A Collection of East German Underground Tapes. In 1988, the legendary freak wave outfit
Ornament & Verbrechen
handed out some 20 to 30 copies of their
Rotmaul-Tape
to friends. The band, formed by the
Lippok
brothers, emerged from the first East Berlin punk group
Rosa Extra
and the avant-wave project
Fünf Wochen im Ballon
. From the moment of O&V's inception, the band was the wellspring for many acts that would subsequently branch off as tributaries and streams in the East Berlin underground music community. Bands like
Aufruhr Zur Liebe
and projects like
Corp Cruid
,
The Local Moon
and
Bleibeil
originated in the environment or from the collaboration with a band that functioned like an open house in the closed institution GDR. By 1995,
To Rococo Rot
and
Tarwater
had formed from this tried-and-tested framework, pursuing the template without copying it. After the GDR infarction in 1989, the project Ornament & Verbrechen continued to glow, sparking new ideas and flaring up again today. Edition of 500.
Tapetopia
is a series of vinyl releases based on cassettes from the East Germany's '80s underground, particularly from the East Berlin "Mauerstadt" music scene, featuring original lay-outs and track lists. For over 30 years after their initial "release" the music on these tapes was neither available on vinyl nor CD, but they were important statements in the canon of the GDR subculture. Despite the miniscule number of original cassettes in circulation at the time many of the bands were popular in countercultural circles, a factor that made them highly suspect among the government's own inner circles.
