Berlin City Sounds PRE-ORDER

To address the future by considering the past, this is the mission of the City Sounds collection, dedicated to the world's musical metropolises. Co-produced by Naïve and La Gaite lyrique, this series begins in Berlin, the first guest city invited by La Gaite lyrique in March 2011, during the week of Berlin Next! Like any other capital, Berlin is a real magnet for artists. But unlike Paris or London, Berlin has been able to cultivate – thanks in part to the accidents of history – a landscape decidedly favorable to emerging trends. The box set City Sounds: Step 1 – Berlin contains a full anthology of the Berliner music from 1975 until today from punk to techno, new-wave to current events including newcomers who will be on stage tomorrow…

In a set of 6 CDs and 80 tracks, City Sounds: Step 1 – Berlin paints a panorama of the Berlin scene, a testament to its great diversity of genres and aesthetics, but also to its continuity, its strong identity, and its incomparable spirit.
