Cafe Exil – New Adventures In European Music 1972-1980 v/a cd

En Bob Stanley gaat ondertussen maar rustig door met het samenstellen van allerlei thematische cd’s voor Ace. ‘When David Bowie and Iggy Pop escaped LA to go Interrailing in the mid-70s, they heard a new European music that was largely devoid of Anglo-American rock influence: the German motorik sound, flashes of jazz, experimentation and electronica. In West Berlin, one of their favourite haunts was Kreuzberg’s Cafe Exil, a smoky hang-out for beats and intellectuals. This is its imaginary soundtrack.’ Voor de tracklisting naar de Ace site.
