DAF were responsible turning me into hard Electronics when I saw them live as a young teenager at Philipshalle Düsseldorf early 80s. Blueprint for EBM and most prominently translated by early Nitzer Ebb. Back then until today I think Gabi and Robert were the most sexy duo of the 80s. Gabi‘s cold voice over Robert’s harsh beats still gives me shivers. I did‘t follow their re-union from the early Noughties. Their first comeback show at Casino Berlin was a straight disappointment, proving my rule not to go and see bands I‘ve seen in their best days. However, DAF remained my all-time EBM heroes. Very sad to hear that Gabi‘s voice is now silent forever. Als wär‘s das letzte Mal. My DAF song for eternity....
