Really interesting article, I wish more of those albums on Amiga could be reissued on CD: http://www.redbullmusicacademy.com/maga ... al-history

Great find!
Especially like this part: "In Erfurt there was a place called "Arbeitsstelle für pastorale Medien" (Centre for Pastoral Media), run by the Catholic Church of East Germany. They had a very good mixing desk, two Studer tape recording machines and some effects equipment. That's where we recorded "Vertrauen."
It sounds so ... unreal.
Btw, a source told me that on the night when the wall tumbled down (11/09) there was a techno party in the eastern part of Berlin. The western folks just grabbed the equipment and moved over ... in the other direction, meaning: east.

Poor sods. Not even the tightly controlled GDR was spared from the horde of Axel F covers.
