I can tell you more about German punk band Aus-98 than I credited myself capable. They reformed and became Circle of Sig-Tiu in the mid 1980's. This 1983 7" was their sole release as Aus-98, though two tracks (Wendzeit and Pause Probe) appear on a Sig-Tiu archive collection I have yet to track down. The B side would be reworked later with a little more "Gothic" production, though I prefer this version. The A side, Alles Fällt, is much more punk.
Circle of Sig-Tiu managed to blend Punk and Darkwave for their sound. I doubt I'd post any Sig-Tiu outside the samplers I've already posted, though they should not be hard to track down for those interested in hearing more.

Jay Kay is the brainchild behind the Godfathers of German Gothic and Ghostriders of German Gothic sampler collections.

Thanks, you've posted a lot of albums since I last visited. Appears to be all good listening. Looking forward to hearing some German post punk especially.

Talking about Jay Kay: unfortunately, right after The Circle, he became notorious as the leader of several extreme right wing bands like Forthcoming Fire and Von Thronstahl.
Too bad. I really like 'Schwarze Raben'.
