Der Moderne Man emerged from the vicinity of Hanover's No Fun label, an incubator for a scene somewhere in between punk, avant-garde and new wave. In addition to two studio albums which are currently also being re-issued the band recorded various demos, EPs and singles between 1981 and 1983. These songs, which did not appear on the two regular albums, are now being re-issued for the first time as an independent compilation. "Jugend Forscht" spans an arc from the first EP to early demo recordings and a single that was never released as a regular album to the German-language New Wave of the last mini-LP 'Neues aus Hong Kong'. The tracks collected on "Jugend Forscht" tell the story and development of Der Moderne Man in an impressive way. The compilation is supplemented by detailed liner notes and some never-before-published images.
