Berlin Underground 1979-1983

I prefer the more electronic side of NDW, but this compilation posted for download in the WFMU blog has some interesting songs from an Einstürzende Neubauten perspective:

The person behind the moniker Borsig is actually 15 year old Alexander Hacke who later went on to join Einstürzende Neubauten.
…
Mania D was an all-women No Wave band with, among others, early Neubauten member Gudrun Gut.

This home made compilation, focusing on the year 1981, is more my cup of tea (via the Dissensus forum).
