I know this is a compilation, but this will forever be my favorite release from SPK. Standout tracks are "Slogun" and "Metall Field". A must-have for any fan of early industrial music or synth minimalism.

Edited 8 years agoWithout doubt, SPK's finest hour/s. A proper introduction to start and catch up with their work between the extreme (past) and the accessible (future).
The "junk" here sounds less funky but definitely more appealing in provoking thought. While the Walter Ulbricht LP would always be a welcome addition to anyone's personal collection, it is the Grey Area CD version that steals the show, adding three more tracks at the compilation's tail end.
Early material is merciless, biting with rawness, while from the middle it becomes (only remotely) accessible, adding proper dance rhythms but still refusing to give up the mental confines, tickling the word "gothic" with its own slab of macabre-ish intensity.
