Founded in Berlin in January of 1981, Malaria! has a legacy that goes way beyond being Germany's very first all-female post-punk outfit. Motorik beats and dark synth flourishes underscore nearly gothic vocals on songs that range from New Order-esque pop to the grimmest of bad-trip-inducing experimentalism.
20 tracks from the group's influential early years, 'Compiled 2.0' gathers together all of the debut album, 1982's 'Emotion', as well as the first single and various other EP and compilation cuts. This is the definitive collection of a pioneering group that has been woefully underrepresented on vinyl for decades.
