The Wirtschaftswunder were a bold and inventive band operating at the intersection of electronic and rock music during the early 1980s German post-punk scene. Preziosen & Profanes (Singles & Raritäten 1980-1981), released by Tapete Records in 2021, compiles the band's singles and rarities from a remarkably creative period, showcasing their playful yet ebullient approach to music-making.
This collection captures The Wirtschaftswunder at their most adventurous, blending industrial textures, electronic experimentation, and rock drums into something delightfully chaotic and alive. Highlights include rare tracks like the driving, industrial-flavored "Ich Steh Auf Hagen" — originally a hard-to-find flexi-disc — and the cacophonous "Träum Was Schönes," which the band famously used to close their live shows. The release also comes with a printed inner sleeve, making it a fitting artifact for fans of early 1980s avant-garde and electronic rock.
