Deutsch Amerikanische Freundschaft "Alles Ist Gut"

[MrXenya7]

@MrXenya7

I remember buying this album in 1981, and it's brilliant. Deutsch Amerikanische Freundschaft ? From Germany ?! Apart from Kraftwerk, Germany wasn't known for music, so DAF was a bit of a shock for the UK. Fehlfarben, and others, were unknown in the UK. Then Germany produced the superb Xmal Deutschland...with Anja !

@roddy76to86 Don't forget Tangerine Dream, one of the best of all time :)

[getthebalancewrong]

I was also being flippant; it's just that Kraftwerk and Dusseldorf are so linked in my mind. Thanks for upload!

[roddy76to86]

@getthebalancewrong

I've actually been to Dusseldorf, but it was a short visit in 1987.

[getthebalancewrong]

I love DAF dearly, but surely Kraftwerk are Dusseldorf's finest?

[roddy76to86]

@getthebalancewrong

I was just being flippant ! DAF were better, but Kraftwerk were pioneers.

[stvdragon85]

grausam

[Vesters1]

@stvdragon85 you're grausam

[ingostrial]

DAF hat es raus mit minimalen Tönen eine geniale Stimmung zu transportieren. Laut muss es sein!!!

[Kaptenmork]

fantastic stuff! Seems weird at first, but soon you can not get enough.

[roddy76to86]

@Kaptenmork

That's just what happened with me when this album was released way back in 1981.

[FBarracuda0866]

immer nur geil !



[djmusicjac]

[maruthamarutha]

Authentic!

[Sappelino]

kp wem das gefällt, aber ich kann mir nur denken das es leute sind die damals schon 50 jahre gelebt ham. jetz mal im ernst: da is kein bissel rhytmus drin und der sagt wenns hoch kommt insgesamt 25 verschiedene wörter. vlt wars ja damals "gut" aber ich brauchs nicht.

[Spugester26]

Da war ein Zukunft der Musik ...Sie heisst 80er Jahre.

[DarkMedievalTimes1]

What genre of music is this?

[roddy76to86]

@DarkMedievalTimes1

Great German post-punk music !

[Atpsych]

@DarkMedievalTimes1 Good one? Which genre of brain asks for cathegories??

[vulgarismoon]

This group is beyond weird... Good though....

[vulgarismoon]

This group is beyond weird...

[mantra3000]

Total devotion to Conny Plank

[roddy76to86]

@mantra3000

I'd no idea who Conny Plank was. But thanks to you and Wikipedia, now I do.

You learn something new every day !

[fiercyrabbit]

A long time ago, in a magazin, Ralf from Kraftwerk said they were performing "Dusseldorf traditional music". I think that's perfectly true. And also DAF and Die Krupps. Notice, for the fun, that DAF are also the first letter of xname of the Marquis de Sade (Donatien, Alphonse, François).

[mantra3000]

@fiercyrabbit Nice! I wonder if they knew that.

[lovesGenet]

I love the sound of these older computer generated sounds. D.A.F. was a good band. Minimalist . They didn't like memorable melodies. They never try to give you a hum along song! They were courageous and so sexy when they were young . Us gay boys always liked them !

[roddy76to86]

Well there's nothing wrong with a bit of "window shopping", but I think you'd be putting your health a serious risk if you tried anything on with them !

[FoolOfGods]

@lovesGenet Er ... the un-gay community also like DAF .. it was a bit of a guilty pleasure ... except for us more open-minded punks ... we loved them either way ... Fur Immer is so evocative ... Viva DAF

[GogUMagogTV]

@lovesGenet these are definitely NOT computer generated sounds. you would had to be a very rich or well-connected person to own a computer in 1981 which was able to generate sounds like that... what you hear are are pure analog synth sounds with some very basic delay/feedback effects. superb!

[roddy76to86]

@GogUMagogTV

Indeed. They used an "ARP Avatar synthesizer, usually driven by a 16-step analog sequencer" (Wikipedia), and DAF made a brilliant and unique sound. As you said, superb.

Young musicians out there, take note !

[WoodRatGirl]

I hear abit of a Kraftwerk influence with this.

[roddy76to86]

A lot of bands were influenced by Kraftwerk. I've great admiration for what they did, even if i don't like much of the music.

[frontosa15]

daf is nice, i think there are great....stil.

[badgirlsinging]

WOW! This is sooooo great! I had this album when I was about 17 or so! Listened to it every day!!! Tanks for this man!

[frenetyczna]

pfffff

[oldemeulejan]

Alles ist gut, sehr gut biss du deine Augen öffnet und den Wahnsinn des Tages anschaut. Hält die Augen zu !!

[bifi27]

SUPER TOLL....<3...

[ausboxa88]

This must have been one of rammsteins inspirations.  Awsome stuff.

[das81]

@ausboxa88 One of Germany's greatest.

[ssv9831]

Damn good!

[roddy76to86]

Damn right !

[wichtelland]

Seid alle stille und macht die Augen zu!

[nordcle]

Great!
