Metamatic Forums Socialising The Green Room Themes for Great Cities eg. Berlin

Trip to the German capital is imminent, so was just wondering about a possible playlist to have while wandering down the Unter den Linden, chillin' in the Tiergarten or posing at the Bauhaus.

"Heroes" is the obvious choice and.....? was noch?

Einstürzende Neubauten: "Kollaps," aber natürlich!

You take my breath away Berlin !


Failing that , Kebab Traueme (in der Mauerstadt) D A F

And this Eponymous group namecheck Eponymous city

They'd obviously hacked into a phone call between Mick Kahn and Claudia Brucker

Danke schön, chaps!

I have of course added:

- Flightpath Tegel (a good place to start, literally)
- Kurfürstendamm

..both by Sir Denis of Foxx.

Hi Lele!

Kebab Traueme - what a great track!

Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmm;

Japan; Suburban Berlin, Halloween.
Marlene Dietrich; Falling in Love Again, Where Have All The Flowers Gone? (and if you can find it...) Lazy Afternoon.

And if you find anything by east German agitator Renft - try him too (he's not great but, hell - adds to the flavour)

Modern stuff - Schneider TM, To Rococco Rot, Raster Noton label.

I forgot a classic by miserable old git Disco Len with his Sex- o- lettes Don't forget to invade New York first !

Back from Berlin .. and what an amazing city.

Yes, "Heroes" is the one that perhaps sums it all up, but I kept being reminded of 'History of Modern' as there is history but it is all so recent, and there is so much modern ..

best bits:
1. the Wall and the memorial in Bernauerstrasse (north) - very moving.
2. record shop near Bergmanstrasse (name escapes me, will check)
3. Norman Foster's glass dome on the Bundes/Reichstag . .history and modern in one.


btw: Flightpath Tegel will soon be no more as they're closing both Tegel and Schoenberg to open a brand new airport - the Brandenburg - in June.

Glad you had a good time. It’s one of my favourite cities, and criminally I’ve not been since 2010. Sorry to hear about Tegel but not really that surprised either – it’s a very small airport certainly but it’s transport links into the city were excellent.
