W. Co-Operation's \"Apartheid\" from 1984 captures a peculiar moment in Austrian electronic pop, when synthesizers were reshaping rock's landscape across Europe. Released on WBM-Records, this single pairs a synth-driven pop-rock track with its playback version, embodying the decade's fascination with electronic textures and the studio as instrument. The title itself—addressing one of the era's most urgent political realities—suggests the band wasn't content with pure escapism, even as they embraced the gleaming synth-pop sound defining early-80s pop music. The A-side bristles with that characteristic tension between organic rock energy and digital precision, while the \"Playback\" version offers an alternate perspective on the same material. It's a modest but intriguing artifact of Austrian new wave, revealing how regional acts engaged with both the sonic innovations and social consciousness of their time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"margin:0 0 8px;\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"display:flex;justify-content:space-between;align-items:center;padding:13px
