Die Kapelle "The Siege" (1987)

The Siege
release date: 1987
format: vinyl (SAM 23)
[album rate: 3 / 5] [3,12]
producer: Jens Walther
label: Sam Records - nationality: Denmark

2nd and final studio album by Die Kapelle, who has been expanded to a quartet by the inclusion of keyboardist and saxophone player Trond Clementsen.
Musically, the band has taken a step away from the dark and sinister gothic rock towards a more keyboard-founded synthpop universe seemingly inspired by Frankie Goes to Hollywood.

Die Kapelle "MCMLXXXVI" (1986)

MCMLXXXVI [debut]
release date: 1986
format: vinyl (SAM 13)
[album rate: 3,5 / 5] [3,46]
producer: Die Kapelle, Peter Brander
label: SAM Records - nationality: Denmark

Full-length studio album debut by Danish post-punk band Die Kapelle consisting of the two brothers Tange, vocalist and guitarist Michael and drummer Niclas, and together with bassist Martin Sellen they form this trio. The band released its ep, or mini-album debut As the Book of Autumn in 1984.
Musically, this comes close to music by The Sound and Killing Joke, but also points to a more synth rock-based style, which at times seems inspired by early Simple Minds. I purchased this album upon its release.
