Here's a slice of cold wave techno to get the the foot tapping with the ever present Krautrock motorik beat. Berlin Express's "The Russians Are Coming" is reminiscent of a lot of the early propulsive beats and sample heavy jams that were coming out of Wax Trax back in the 80's. Elements of factory sounds and fascist imagery abound, but it's still an enjoyable work (as a fan of 80's/90's industrial music, this comes as no surprise). I couldn't find a lot of info about the group online, but electronic artist Conrad Schnitzler was a member, which is pretty damn cool. At any rate, i don't normally do 12" singles on the Found Vinyl blogs, but the cover alone on this one just begged to be done. Take a listen to the tune below.
As a bonus, here's the German version, "Die Russen Kommen."
