Music

The music of Minimal Compact is characterized by a mixture of Eastern rates/rhythms and a style rock'n'roll with the accents of New wave, producing a telescoping which was then innovator. The serious and major voice of Birnbach is also an element marking of their musical universe. Certain pieces are ballades sometimes rather dark, while others conceal a great energy and are favourable with the dance, even with fright. Their success in the underground mediums in Europe was important.
