"Die Sunrise Tapes" is actually a reworked version of Grauzone's 1981 self-titled album, with a rearranged track order and a few songs added, most notably "Eisbär", their biggest and most accessible single. The Swiss group play post-punk infused with minimal-wave, typical of the Neue Deutsche Welle sound and right at home with the Danes featured on the superb "Somewhere Outside" compilation, worth investigating if you're looking for more synth-heavy post-punk from Denmark. Grazone offer a varied and multifaceted collection on "Die Sunrise Tapes", at times sounding as punky as early Joy Division and at others, akin to D.A.F. in their role as precursors to EBM and techno.
