L'edizione del trentennale era andata subito esaurita, questa dei quarant'anni in formato redux - immutata nei contenuti, più alleggerita nella confezione ma parimenti indispensabile - dovrebbe venire incontro a chi ne era rimasto sprovvisto: Cassiber 1982-1992.
In 1982 Cassiber crashed into the Deutsche Neue Welle. Founded by Heiner Goebbels, Alfred Harth, Christoph Anders and Chris Cutler, they fused experimental rock, fringe jazz, punk, pop, plunderphonics, improvisation and musique concrete into a complex form of studio - and then concert - composition that was unique in mashing experimental form with a risky and expressionist mode of execution. In content and aesthetics, Cassiber tracked and anticipated the political and technological changes of its times, shifting, over its 10 years of existence, from the high stakes energy of the earlier releases to the more composed and complex studio works of its later years. Most impressively, Cassiber opened up song form by abandoning, extending or crashing sideways into it - and by creating unlikely structures from a combination of noise, libido, high musicality, dramaturgy and cultural debris.
