The Minimal Wave founder digs into the emergent electronic scene that erupted through the ’70s and ’80s in Germany.

Veronica Vasicka dives into the emergent electronic scene that erupted through the ’70s and ’80s in Germany, tracing the roots of synth music back to its cosmic proto-techno sound of the 1970s, before charting its developments within the post punk underground, from minimal electronics to synth pop, by artists such as DAF, Sylvia, Grauzone and Einstürzende Neubauten.
