Die Atlantikschwimmer - Die Atlantikschwimmer (cassette, 1983)

The first release of this fantastic (and, probably, one of my all-time favourite) NDW band. Released as cassette in 1983 by Kassetto Fix. Just one thing to know is that the song "Ich Zeige Dir" is an early version of "Komm Mit Mir", which appeared on the only vinyl record "Die Atlantikschwimmer".
Enjoy!

01) Immerzu
02) Abendvorstellung
03) Keine Antwort Auf Brennende Fragen
04) In Feuer Und Wasser Haben Sie Den Tod Gefunden
05) Ich Zeige Dir
06) Warten

Enjoy!

01) Next To Nothing
02) Strangers
03) Silent Snow

Enjoy!

02) La Ville De Nos Rêves

Sad melancholic guys from Montpellier (Diva Diva reminds me of Little Nemo's synth weirdness; Conquistador is like an arty rock lyonnaise, pierced through cold Nancy rains).
