This is a varied post about music from Germany. Let's start with an ace compilation on German label Das Drehmoment called Ruckwarts im Uhrzeigersinn, a collection of underground electronic music that ranges from disco to EBM to pop and beyond. Available on double LP here.
Volta 82 was the 2nd ever release on Boys Noize Records way back in 2005. More recently it features on said labels 2 CD best of that you can get from Boomkat. Leave it to the best.
And a far cry from the above is the music of Klaus Boch, a man who hid under the name A La Ping Pong for two releases in 1981, known as Phase I and Phase II. The first Phase featured some highly inventive music using guitar looping and delays, with multi-tracking and various electronics. Then, in contrast, Phase II took a diversion to Kraftwerk styled electro-pop. Critics say that Phase I was the better and having heard both I wouldn't disagree. Nevertheless, both make for a refreshing and compelling listen.
