Boomkat Product Review:
Yesyesyes!!! First ever reissue of Xaõ Seffcheque’s new wave bullet, Du Und Ich, backed with two further freaks from his Ja - Nein - Vielleicht (1981) LP, courtesy of Rivet’s Kess label.
You may know Du Und Ich already, or have heard it in mixes by the likes of Powell and Traxx, but arguably never cut quite so well as on this plate, where it’s given a full side at 45rpm to itself, restored from original tapes to become one of the biggest, strangest bangers in your new wave box.
Likewise, the B-side’s cavalcade of drums and plinky synth skronk is a proper ‘floor freaker, sorta like DAF meets Yello at some NDW ritual, and Eine Nacht In Deutschland gets loose ’n wild with orgiastic glossolalia and rampant, motorik synth noise.
They may have been recorded in Graz, Austria, 1981 but sound like they’re from a dancefloor in a parallel dimension.
Bonkers and strongly recommended!
