The 1986 Listening Post - KMFDM - What Do You Know, Deutschland?


KMFDM - What Do You Know, Deutschland?


#562
December 1986
KMFDM
What Do You Know, Deutschland?
Genre: German Industrial
2 out of 5




This is much less interesting but also more adventurous than the previous KMFDM. The title track could almost be a hit…if Laibach recorded it. 
They seem to build everything around a pounding drum and sampled vocals and, I guess, maybe that was ground breaking 30 years ago but it’s kind of droll and pedestrian today. 
Nah. It was dull back then, too. 
We don’t need to be covering this in the future. Just because it is available today doesn’t mean any one of us would have had access to it 30+ years ago. 

Fare thee well, KMFDM.
