Kliché - Supertanker (1980)


Synth-heavy Danish punk/new wave excellence. First found via the Pære Punk comp -- truly one of the best punk comps in existence -- where Kliché stood out for their more melodic, pop-y sound. What I really love about this band is what I hear as not-so-subtle krautrock influences, which are most pronounced on instrumental intro track "Igen Og Igen" and the endless, euphoric repetition of 10-minute album closer "Masselinjen".

Track listing:
1. Igen Og Igen
2. Havets Ble
3. Hetz
4. Militskvinder
5. Panorama
6. Aldrig Mere
7. Stjernerne I Deres Ojne
8. Bodygaurds
9. Maselinjen
