East German postpunk

Ever wondered what postpunk from the DDR sounds like? An article on the very topic in Germany's excellent De:Bug magazine led me to this tasting menu for the CD that accompanies the book Spannung Leistung Widerstand: Magnetbanduntergrund DDR 1979-1990) ('Tension Power Resistance': tapeband underground East Germany 1979-1990 ) by Alexander Pehlemann & Ronald Galenza. These cassette recordings - taped and passed from peer to peer, usually no more than 40 or 50 times (what in the Soviet Union was called Magnitizdat distribution) indicate a vibrant underground risking arrest and imprisonment for their art.
My German is too feeble to be able to comment on the lyrics, but musically there are hints of the Residents, Young Marble Giants, John Foxx-era Ultravox, the Krautrock of Can, Neu! and the gang, the metal-bashing of Neubauten or Die Krupps, and other, unplaceable, but familiar, electronoise signals. Sometimes it's great, sometimes it's crap: it's brilliant that it got made at all.
