The Nirvana Devils - Some Foreign Shore (Exile)

Simply, the best record ever made by Germans. Kraftwerk? Einsturzende Neubauten? Nena's 99 bouncing balloons? Phooey!! So earnest, so obscure. On this classic masterpiece of puerile punky-pop, Berlin's Nirvana Devils reveal to their fellow countrymen the true spirit and innermost secrets of real pop music: squeaky voices, sparing instrumentation, garish shirts, ridiculous shades and - most important of all - enormous earrings. If you don't buy this record, you'll probably live to a ripe old age. If you do buy this record, you might die happy. (Tom Hibbert, Smash Hits, February 14, 1985)
