Album chapter / Ostberlin 1980-1994

Plattenbau

Plattenbau is an A.N.K.A. album chapter: concrete, window light, tape hiss. Ostberlin 1994 is the first released track from that world. One chapter, not the whole identity.

Press play. The circle reads real A.N.K.A. tracks and throws them back as color, pressure and movement. Now playing: Ostberlin 1994.
