About

Sprung Aus Den Wolken emerged from the shadows of Berlin's industrial landscape in the 1980s, riding the crest of the Geniale Dilletanten wave. This movement, a cauldron of relentless creativity, found them crafting a sound both minimalistic and mechanical. Their work is a testament to the functionality of noise, with the industrial hum of Berlin's underground at its core. The band's output spanned 35 releases, with a strong preference for the cassette format, producing 26 tapes that captured the raw energy of their live performances and studio sessions. Fred Alpi and Kiddy Citny, the enigmatic figures behind this project, may have kept their roles shrouded in mystery, but their impact was anything but obscure. Their soundscapes, often percussive and dystopian, were laid bare in recordings like "Live 1988" on Faux Pas, a piece that crystallizes their live ethos. The group's collaborations with labels such as Les Disques Du Soleil Et De L'Acier and Staalplaat reveal a network of like-minded creators, all contributing to a vibrant and mechanical scene. Releases such as "The Story Of Electricity" (1987) and "Pas Attendre / Que Pa" (1985) illustrate a sonic evolution that remains metronomic and relentless. The sheer volume of their cassette output speaks to a DIY ethos that permeated the scene, with each tape a piece of Berlin's industrial puzzle. Sprung Aus Den Wolken stood as a functional cog within this machine, their minimalistic industrial sound a reliable pulse within an often chaotic, dystopian world.
