Neue Deutsche Welle, again

Guys: CHBB's original cassettes are out on Bandcamp. Beate Bartel and Chrislo Hass recorded these tracks before becoming Liaisons Dangereuses in 1981 with vocalist Krishna Goineau.
It's difficult to explain or even visualise now how impossibly hard to find this music was in the day. Meeting someone else who was into it was a secret handshake. These CHBB songs were unobtainable. Listening to them now isn't nostalgia - it's discovery. Behold the architecture of collapsed buildings and all the dance clubs beneath.
