DAF - Verschwende Deine Jugend (Live at Wire 03) 4/5

The first thing you should know about D.A.F. is that Delgado-López’s odd phrasing isn’t a figment of my imagination. Delgado himself told an interviewer, “The singing isn’t like rock ’n’ roll or pop singing. It’s sometimes like in a Hitler speech, not a Nazi thing, but it’s in the German character, that crack! crack! crack! way of speaking.” So now we not only have the Thump! Thump! Thump! of shells exploding all over the place, we have the Crack! Crack! Crack! of rifle fire as well. This isn’t dance music, people, it’s the soundtrack to a WWII dance movie called Herzlich Willkommen Aus Klub Blitzkrieg. http://www.thevinyldistrict.com/storefront/2014/10/graded-on-a-curve-d-a-f-alles-ist-gut/
