Kosmonautentraum ‎– Juri Gagarin [LP] (1982, Zickzack Platten)

Kosmonautentraum published mostly on cassettes and on the ZickZack label, with changing accompanying musicians until the mid-1980s. "Kosmonaut" is one of the most powerful opening tracks ever: You have the mercilessly pummeling drums and the sneering vocals, but what other bands would have killed for is that deranged, tortured synth lead. The track gets a great piano-led reprise with "Juri Gagarin" (two reprises if you count the five-second "Epilog"). The rest of the album simply can't live up to the opener, it's fairly good NDW/post punk with mad, harrowing ("Hoffnung", "Deutsche Nacht"), but also surprisingly lackadaisical, sloppy ("Gierig", "Neugier") moments.
