Notorische Reflexe

Notorische Reflexe

You didnt go to a Notorische Reflexe gig to listen to a collection of their greatest hits, you went to a Notorische Reflexe gig to be enlightened and always, challenged. The 80s were a time of creative liberation. You could literally get away with anything. Audiences were generally open minded and tolerant to whatever it was you were presenting in front of them. You didnt have to be a proven perfectionist on your instrument to be able to make music of this unconventional style, you could just grab something and turn it into a musical weapon to unleash upon an unsuspecting, anticipating audience. It was as if they almost expected you to be weird and the weirder you were, the better and without doubt, Notorische Reflexe certainly fitted that bill. I loved watching them live. They were fun and funny. I sometimes got the impression they were trying to force a square peg into a round hole, like mixing disco with dirge, but that was the whole point of their unconventional presentation. They caused you to consider and query. Each performance was a one-off event never to be repeated. The movies mashed with the music, always in a bizarre setting, with piles of electronic junk as their stage scenery, which became their signature. Ok, the Notorische Reflexe might not be as well-known as Einstuerzende Neubauten, Die Toedliche Doris or Malaria!, but they were as equally important in creating what has meanwhile become known as the Berliner Geniale Dillitanten scene, because it was all the other bands like Notorische Reflexe (or my own band Die Unbekannten), who participated in this experiment, and who were an essential part of the pyramid of bands that supported the main feature and helped to create the Berliner Krankheit. - Mark Reeder
