Review

Malaria!'s "Compiled 1981-1984" is a fascinating dive into post-punk and industrial realms, released back in 1991. This 16-track collection pulsates with the band's experimental and innovative spirit. With its moody, dark soundscapes intertwined with catchy hooks, the album is a perfect snapshot of the early 1980s post-punk and new wave movements.

From the atmospheric depths of "Kaltes Klares Wasser" to the infectious energy of "Your Turn To Run," the album is a rollercoaster of styles and emotions. The use of synthesizers and distorted guitars crafts a palpable sense of tension, while the hypnotic rhythms and melodies provide a compelling balance. This compilation captures the essence of early 1980s Berlin, reflecting the city's avant-garde, artistic pulse where Malaria! played a pivotal role. For anyone with a love for post-punk and industrial music, "Compiled 1981-1984" offers an essential and immersive listening experience. - Stephanie
