Chapter three of the successful compilation series. 14 modern kraut-electronic tracks (three of them exclusive and previously unreleased) inspired by Kraftwerk, Can, Neu!, Cluster, Klaus Schulze and many more. Curated and compiled by Compost artist Fred und Luna. As on Vol. 1 and 2, the collage on the cover was designed exclusively by the fantastic artist Norika Nienstedt from the Kraut metropolis of Düsseldorf. Rainer Buchmüller aka Fred und Luna sadly passed away in January 2024 after a long illness. He was a kind-hearted person, gifted artist, friend and companion. Compost mourns him deeply. A few days before his death, Rainer Buchmüller had along the track listing for Volume 3 (and already ideas for Volume 4), with the request to publish this posthumously, he would be very happy if his fans and all those who will be would receive a "sign of life' from him. It's not at all easy or basically impossible to describe the term "Kraut" stylistically. Nevertheless, Compost Records and Fred und Luna embark on a journey through time to discover the different elements of German electronic music from the 1970s and 1980s and their impact on the more recent German and global music scene. After the great success of Volumes 1 and 2, Volume 3 follows on stylistically from its predecessor and -- as this is one of the basic ideas of the series -- gradually expands the musical spectrum with new krauty elements. Black 2LP with black inner sleeves. Includes three exclusive and unreleased tracks. Featuring Fred und Luna, Philipp Johann Thimm, Niklas Wandt, Christian Nainggolan, Von Spar, Harmonious Thelonious, Benoit B, Salvage Art, Die Orangen, Puma & The Dolphin, Twoonky, Sula Bassana, and Organza Ray.
