(from Crack In The The Cosmic Egg)
The name Deutsche Wertarbeit was the working pseudonym for a one-off project by Dorothea Raukes, the lady synth/keyboardist from Streetmark. The LP she made was mostly of a melodic and sequential type of synth music (performed entirely on Korg equipment) with the accent on rhythm and catchy tunes on most tracks, typical of the early-80's.
Taps right into the playful synth experimentation that makes krautrock so inspiring to me. The most mindblowing part is that I've NEVER heard this woman's name referenced with the genre. The song "Auf Engelsflugeln" resonates with me particularly since it seemingly serves as the model for a ton of current synth-dance stuff I'm listening to today.
Guten Abend Leute
Auf Engelsflugeln
