Re-issue liner notes
In the short but tumultuous life of the East Berlin impro-punk band Klick & Aus, they played an amalgamation of proto-punk and post-punk influenced by acts from both East and West including The Galloping Coroners, Captain Beefheart and Cabaret Voltaire. The Klick & Aus sound breathed restlessness and petulance, like a company of soldiers always simmering for battle but refusing to march in step; a sound joining loud shamanic chants with song structures and archaic sampling. During the Christmas season of the waning Orwellian year 1984 the band recorded the cassette album "AIDS delikat" the title interweaving the infectious character of a new disease from the West with a particularity of East German consumerism. The band financed 100 copies of "AIDS delikat". tapetopia 003 has now compiled a shortened vinyl version of the album. The entire "AIDS delikat" tape album is available for download at playloud.com.
