Die Kreuzen Internal (Issued As A Promo Only)Sound quality is 'A'.
This is ript from my cd, Internal was issued as a promo only, it never saw a retail release.
It offers nothing unissued but does include an interview done in 1991, split up over the length of the cd. It would seem from the interview that then band was ready to take the world by storm, but sometime within the year they started to work on different projects and never reunited to record or tour again.
The cd offers, musically, a glimpse of the band that influenced what became known as the 'grunge' scene. If Die Kreuzen had never issued anything after 1984 it's debatable if the grunge sound would have been what it was, it's generally not debated by most but is taken as a fact.
No Die Kreuzen and Seattle's sound would have had a different tone. Bands like Soundgarden are even noted as citing Die Kreuzen as a major influence.
As in most cases, if you originate a sound or style or riff, its unlikely you'll be known for it but the ones you influenced will make the riches.
Over all a nice comp but really lacking on Die Kreuzens punk power/roots. The only track from the 1984 Self Titled is the slower, more in line with the rest of the cd, All White. See the posts below for the hardcore punk die kreuzen. It's also a shame they didn't include 'Pink Flag' on here just as a bonus.

Great blog you have here. I realize this post is very old at this point but since I'm a big fan of this band & don't actually have this particular CD (have all of the recordings, tho) I thought I'd place my comment here.
This is a perfect introduction to the band despite its working-backwards set up. Start here and then go back to the earlier recordings and work your way forward. You'll be glad that you did...and mad as hell that you missed the band when they were around.
It gotten taken down just so you know
