I am Germany (or not)

Ive been getting really into finding obscure German pop music recently and this week has been something of a goldmine, stumbling across so many good blogs and emailing lots of German collectors, with some fine results. Im DJing at a gig in February with Pantha Du Prince and Walls, both of which have lots of Kraut influences, so I want to do a bit of a German salute. The challenge is finding records that still represent Germany circa 1980 but still make people dance at 2 in the morning.

Stupid thing is, only one of the tracks below are actually from Germany! Canada and London/Paris make up the difference, but I think they still have the kind of vibe im looking for. Anyway, check these three out for size and come to the show, details here.
