NORMALETTE SURPRISE

Der Plan (Moritz and Frank Fenstermacher, Pyrolator) are seen as key pioneers of the German New Wave. They revolutionized synthesizer pop on their debut album Geri Reig (1980) produced with minimal means, at times experimental electronic music, playful bordering, and always with a sense of humour. This band were brothers in the spirit of The Residents, but even more radical. Their 2nd release here originally came out in 1981, saw them develop further the experimental-electronic song shapes and structures, in a more accessible and even more playful vein. Reissued on 180 gram vinyl.
