Ostseetraum

Ostseetraum

"Sometimes I think it's best if sullen German cold-wave was left to the Germans to write and perform.

Case in point is Berlin's Ostseetraum, who conjure the desperate artistic creativity that managed to grow

in the cracks of the Berlin wall in the early '80s. The Zickzack label certainly comes to mind, care of the

throbbing bass pulses, rudimentary drum machines and gloomy vocals, though Ostseetraum don't seem

to have any day-glo new-wave sheen to them, not even ironically."
