    Only a few weeks after the release of BAL PARÉ’s Sommerwind 10”, which featured newly recorded tracks in the old style, Minimal Wave releases this fantastic 7”EP with original tracks recorded between 1981 and 1984. “Herz aus Stein” could have also been an IN NAMEN DES VOLKES track, as it is sounding more raw’n’dirty than the usual BAL PARÉ material, with Matthias on vocoder and similar to Hoffnung & Psyche. “Wir kamen nie an” is another hit in minimal electropop style with vocoder; due to its minimalistic nature it actually sounds like a demo track by Sonnenbrandt. The b-side opens with the simply beautiful instrumental “TV noir”. Then the record ends far too early with “La vie” again a more typical electropop track, with Kirsten Klemm doing French vocals again, that could easily have also fitted on the Sommerwind release. Not much to say here apart from: must-have!
