Boomkat Product Review:
Yeah, you’re not seeing things. Electronic body musick’s near-mythical ground zero is finally issued in its entirety, expanding the 9 known cuts of 1981 with no fewer than 11 never-before-heard jams from the same sessions. Take a second to drink that in, then pounce if you know what’s good! E-S-S-E-N-T-I-A-L RIYL Liaisons Dangereuses, Einstürzende Neubauten, DAF, Chris Carter…!!!!!!!
As legend has it, Düsseldorf’s Chrislo Haas & Beate Bartel laid the blueprint for EBM with their fateful studio sessions as CHBB, infamously issued on DIY tape runs of 50 copies that now trade on collectors’ markets for the price of a fuel-efficient, 2nd hand German hatchback. After playing foundational roles in new wave bands DAF, Mania D. and Einstürzende Neubauten in 1980, and before going on to form the near-mythical Liaisons Dangereuses by the end of 1981, the pair converged on a more sinuous, ascetic sound with the short-lived CHBB, whose legacy would endure as one of the clearest templates for contemporary techno in existence. With such foundational credentials, it’s kinda ridiculous that CHBB’s early works have never properly been unarchived ’til now, with this definitive survey of ‘CHBB’ shelling 20 tunes - mostly unreleased in any form - likely to leave post-industrial, NDW and EBM fiends’ jaws on the floor.
All 9 cuts from the original 4 x self-duplicated tapes are officially collected for the first time, spanning the scudding, darkside proto-techno bomb ’NBKE’ and zingers such as ‘Go Go Go’, ‘Ima Iki-Mashoo’, and ‘Mau Mau’, which have wormed their way onto bootleg and legit pressings over the decades. But the real big attraction is no doubt those bits that have never seen light of day, or basically the majority of this album. Between the wiry echoes of early DAF registered in ‘Bali’, thru the screwed electro prongs of ‘Highroller’, to the cyberpunk grind of ‘Disconanz’, smacked-out bops ‘Voyage Au Bout De La Nuit’ and ‘Klick-Klac’, and another deadly techno prototype ‘Monkey Rules’, and hints of the LD sound to come in the step-sequenced rhythm of ‘Shapeshifter’, it’s truly revelatory stuff from top to bottom.
Quite honestly we thought this day would never come, that Beate simply wasn’t going to play the reissue game, despite so many requests. But the glimmer of hope in Vladimir Ivkovic’s legit licensing of ’NBKE’ for his Uprooted 7” in 2022 would prove worth clinging onto as this full set unlocks a whole side-room of early ‘80s, Teutonic machine craft that comes like a punkier answer to Kraftwerk’s plugged-in pops, and practically epitomises the Ruhr region’s kink for ruder, propulsive rhythms that would feed forward into the Hardwax cabal and far beyond, and be found in the sets of Ron Hardy and in Carl Craig productions, thru to contemporary body music.
