This playlist created for those who are searching for old electronic music like me.

Keine Ahnung quartet from Germany formed in 1980. The live sound utilized more complex synthesizers, tapes, guitars, metal percussion and custom built electronics. The beats and bass lines came from the Roland 606/303 duo triggering a KORG MS-20 for the bass drum.

COMATEENS - In the fall of 1978, after working with a series of bands, New York-based musician and composer Nicholas West became interested in experimenting with minimalism, collaborating with guitarist and songwriter Ramona Jan. They decided to play pure pop but to substitute a primitive electronic beat-box for a human drummer.
