About
Soilent Grün was a German experimental and industrial noise project active during the early 1980s. Based on their documented releases, the group operated within the underground cassette culture that flourished in post-punk Germany, particularly in Berlin's avant-garde scene. Their recorded output consists of live performance documentation and studio recordings released on independent tape labels, including Graf Haufen Tapes and Pi+RQ-J6 Tape Production. The project's releases—Live 26.9.81, SO 36 (30.4.82), and In Memorandum (1984)—capture the raw, unpolished aesthetic characteristic of early industrial and noise music experimentation. The SO 36 release references the iconic Berlin venue, suggesting the group's connection to that city's creative underground. Soilent Grün exemplifies the DIY ethos of early 1980s German experimental music, contributing to the broader landscape of industrial noise and electronic experimentation that emerged from the margins of the post-industrial European music scene.
