released April 5, 2024

The East Berlin dark wave band Nontoxic was initially known as Mildernde Umstände. In 1988 the state-run artists’ agency issued an ultimatum: Name change, or no more gigs! The band continued as Nontoxic, in a squatted practice room right by the Berlin Mitte police station, which some goths had also been “introduced” to. Nontoxic gigged a lot, sharing the stage with bands such as Zorn, Herbst In Peking or the Fellini Prostitutes.
Joggy Müller of Die Vision (also Mahlsdorfer Wohnstuben Orchester and L‘Ambassadeur des Ombres) organised a recording session at the studio of Jan Wanschura, also of Die Vision. There is no trace of these recordings today. In 1989, Nontoxic played at the East Berlin HdjT. “Intoxication” is based on a recording of this show. In 1990, the members of Nontoxic went on to play with bands such as Torpedo Mahlsdorf, Iron Henning, Edge of Silence, and Calyx of Rose.

The tapetopia series, using the original layouts and track lists, publishes cassette editions from the GDR underground of the 1980s, especially from the “walled-in” scene in East Berlin. More than three decades after their initial “release”, most of these tapes have yet to be heard on either vinyl or CD, even though they made an audible mark in the canon of GDR sub- culture. Despite the tiny original editions of the time, many of the bands were considered cult in countercultural circles, which made them highly suspect in informed circles.

A very good LP quality, great mastering and cut. The album itself is definitely a very dark one. Sure it will become a classic one in several years and inspire a lot of musicians all over the world. Choosing a favorite track was quite a task. mikhailbroyan
