Record fine.. 12'' 33 rpm record.. Die Tödliche Doris (Deadly Doris) was a German performance art and music group based in Berlin from 1980 to 1987. It was founded by band members Wolfgang Müller and Nikolaus Utermöhlen, and later joined by Chris Dreier, Dagmar Dimitroff, Tabea Blumenschein and Käthe Kruse.Die Tödliche Doris was part of the Geniale Dilettanten (Ingenious Dilettantes) movement, a merger of the New Wave and post-punk scene, which combined influences like Frieder Butzmann, Einstürzende Neubauten and Malaria!.Rather than constructing a consistent identity, typically essential for pop music groups, Die Tödliche Doris challenged the notion of convention or stereotype. Instead, they tried with each music piece and production not to follow a style or image.On this, their second album, are 13 tracks, which seems to have nothing in common: a "funny" song followed by a "serious" song, followed by a "banal" one, a "cruel" one, a "soft" one, a "noisy" one etc. Nothing seems to fit together, all styles or themes are strictly separated from one another.[Ref.
