About this item

Greatest Fits is a deep dive into the superb sounds of German avant-garde new wave pioneer Gina X on the cult Dark Entries label. This double LP compilation spans the whole of the bold, boundary-blurring career of Gina X Performance, which came together first in 1978 when singer Gina Kikoine and producer Zeus B set out to create "the absolute union of music, poetry and travesty". With selections taken from four albums, you'll find their signature blend of icy electro, camp theatrics and subversive pop throughout, and it all ranges from the pulsing 'Nice Mover' to the decadent 'No G.D.M.' Greatest Fits is both a musical time capsule and a vital reminder of how far ahead Gina X always was while also serving as a celebration of queer culture and synth-driven hedonism.

STAFF COMMENTS

Mine says: One of the coolest and most interesting German artists of all time (in my humble German opinion) that I can't recommend highly enough. If you're into Saada Bonaire, Vicious Pink, Gary Numan, Soft Cell etc. do yourself a favour and get a copy of this mega compilation, you won't be disappointed!
