Robert Schroeder - Computer Voice

By request but also I wanted to post this album long time ago. 1984s album Computervoice from German composer Robert Schroeder is a very good electronic album and quite an example from that time. Catchy sequences and nice melodies this is I think Schroeders most known album. Enjoy

Mark Isham - Vapor Drawings

After the mistake from last week today a "really" new post :) This was Mark Isham's first solo album. It is from 1983. Mark Isham is an american Trumpeter, synthesist who is now mainly into Soundtrack Music. This early record from him is very ambient and quiet even has some jazz influence.
Different from the european electronic musicians but evenly interesting.

Astral Sounds - Red Kyte

This is a library record released back in 1982 by Rouge Music. Produced by John Hyde. Some nice electronic tunes. Aparently composed for Water and Ambient Scenes. The thing with these Library records is that they dont have much info about the composer if he is not famous in other areas, for example like Mark Shreeve who released also some library records. Originally posted by Phylips from the dead Painted on Silence Blog. Interesting so I reposted it here.


Electronic Krautrock

As I can see from the dl's you don't like if I blog just 2 tracks from an album but if the album is new I like to protect the musician.
At last a pure Krautrock entry on my blog even though I love the Genre this is my first post of this kind of music nevertheless it is electronic too and today some of these bands a pure electronic. But back to the roots :)

First album is the compilation from Kraftwerk Exceller 8
that was release back in 1980 by Vertigo. It contains tracks from the first 4 albums of Kraftwerk even though Autobahn was heavily cut from 22min to 3 min... it's a nice introduction to their early work.




Here we have the 3rd album from NEU! released back in 1975. The duo Klaus Dinger and Michael Rother both played with Kraftwerk in their early years. Very nice introduction to their work and also their most accesible album apart from their 4 th album that was released 20 years later. Klaus Dinger unfortunatly dies last year. He also created the Krautrock group La Duesseldorf.

Get it here




And the third one for today. Harmonia is (or was) basically Cluster together wich Michael Rother. Easy melodies with fun texts (Immer wieder rauf und runter, Always going up and down) ect. You will hear similarity to Neu. but that was the time (70s). Deluxe was also released back in 1975.
Since 2007 Harmonia reunited and gave already some concerts.
Hope you liked my little voyage to this genre but if you like electronic music you have to get back where it came from....

Yanni - Live at the Acropolis

This concert album from greek composer Yanni is a nice introduction to his work. Even though that is not your average Electronic music album because he used an Symphonic Orchestra to play with him, I really like Yanni's music. He has some beautiful melodies and optimistic tunes. Originally he started releasing music in the 80's on Peter Baumann's Private Music Label, his first album dates back to 1984 (Optimystique)
The concert is from 1993 and there is a DVD release, if you like the music try to get the video which is nice too, aparently it is
deemed to be the second best-selling music video of all time
right after Michael Jacksons Thriller.

Thorsten "Q" Quaeschning - Natatorium

Rightfully subtitled as music for moonlight drive & swimming pools the Music project from actual Tangerine Dream member Thorsten Quaeschning is a very interesting work. Sometime very close to TD but also with his own influences.
A highly recommended album from this year

Tuesday, September 01, 2009

Manuel Goettsching - Inventions For Electric Guitar

Recorded back in 1974 and released 1975 this is another trance like release from Goettsching. 3 long tracks only played by guitar if you believe or not. Of course with some effect equipment. This sound more like TD or Schulze synthesizer compositions than anything played on a guitar. Enjoy this little masterpiece.

Klaus Schulze - Andromeda (Promo)

And another post from me today. This time from master Klaus Schulze (funny that this is my first solo post from him). A promotion CD single for Alesis at the Frankfurt music fair, March 2003. Limited Edition of 300 copies. Most of them were given away for free to visitors of the Alesis booth at the fair, while KS was signing the CD. If you like KS you will like this one :)




Paul Haslinger - Transfinity of Numbers (Promo)

A great promo release from Paul Haslinger (Ex-Tangerine Dream) released back in 95. Several tracks he composed for computershows ect.
Fast paced sequences and melodies. Unfortunatly the bitrate is a little low (128kb) If someone has this with a higher bitrate it would really appreciated :)




W.A.dePHUL - When Aliens Meet A Drop Of Water

Keyboarder Rald Wadephul (Ex-Tangerine Dream) released this great album last year. It contains several re-mixed versions from TD tracks he co-wrote with Edgar Froese during the 1988 concert Tour in North America.
I really like this album, refreshing sounds and mixes.


Two tracks from the album

Geoffrey Downes - The Light Program

Jeje, at last a new post from me after 7 month of nothing new here, I am sorry but I had the Blog Burned out sindrome :) Hopefully I will recover soon and post more music here . Please report me any broken links you discover, I will try to repost them soon.
Today I present you the solo album from Buggle/Asia Keyboarder Geoffrey Downes.
The album is from 1986 and it is just great. You can hear that he comes from a Rock Background. But this makes this album so special. I liked it inmedeatly.
Enjoy

Atom - Liedergut

This album was just released today. It is from Atom aka (Señor Coconut) aka Uwe Schmidt. And I must say a very interesting but quite experimental experience. Some tracks were co composed with Florian Schneider (who recently left Kraftwerk). And if you listen to the album you can tell why. This one could fit easily between Kraftwerks Kraftwerk 2 and the Ralf & Florian albums.

Propeller Island - Hermeneutic Music

Hermeneutic Music was the first album by Propeller Island( Lars Stroschen), who is a Multimedia Artist from Berlin. It was released in 1988 (man thats already 20 years ago !!) and contains a lot of different sample recordings he made during his travels. This is not your normal electronic sample/sequence album. It is more like a soundtrackscore. I felt directly in love with the album back in 1988. So here another 80s gem that was released on the Erdenklang label.


Wednesday, December 10, 2008

Wolfgang Dueren - Eyeless Dreams

At last something new here on the Blog and quite interesting too :)
The album was a private release from Wolfgang Dueren in 1980.
He himself was a roadie for TD in the late 70s and even helped with some Sequencer programming, but never was playing with TD( at least not in Concerts). After that he became a Service Tecnician and Distributor for Palms PPG Synthesizer Systems. You can hear clearly the early Digital Synthesizers on this album. Interesting stuff.

Some more biographic notes here:

E-MIX 2008

Yes I Know I am overdue with some E-Music posts for months.
But really I couldn't find anything interesting new.
Here I made a little compilation from mostly 70s early 80s Tracks from Kraftwerk, Cluster, TD, ect. Hope you enjoy the little compilation.


Friday, September 12, 2008

Klaus Hess - Technodrome

Interesting album from ex-Jane member (Krautrock) Klaus Hess. This was his second solo-album and it is from 1992. To me it sounds a little bit like the E2-E4 album from Goettsching. Nice.

Btw. I reposted Timecode and Wuivend Riet

Bogmayr / Zuschrader - Bergpredigt

I listening to this album several days now I it is beginning to grow on me. Lot's of Fairlight CSI Sounds and vocal samples. It is their interpretation of Jesus Sermon on the Mountain. Unfortunatly in German but a very interesting work.
To realize "The Sermon On The Mountain" musically rhythmic and tonal components were combined by the computer with human voices to form word-sound-colours. Vocal material was also drawn from interviews recorded in hospitals, pensions, youth clubs, in the street and in the open-air. From this collection we programmed the computer with special sentences, signal words, dialects and vocal sounds that were adapted by the computer to conform with our musical and dramatic concepts". (Bognermayr/Zuschrader/Karlberger)

WORK WORK WORK

I am sorry for the lack of updating lately but my work is keeping me busy.
Thanks for all the comments. Next week I will post some more interesting stuff.

Friday, July 18, 2008

Sauveur Mallia

It's getting harder to find real interesting stuff out there for you, but I think you might like this french composer. He actually is a bass player, Composer, Arranger, Session Musician who played and composed unnumbered amount of Tracks and albums. He also was very succesful with the french space Disco Band Arpadys in 1979.
After that he made quite a lot of Libray Albums and there he really rocks.
I made for you a small selection from 8 Tracks I found.
Minimal Synth, Space Disco, Experimental.
If anyone has some rips of his TELEMUSIC Lps please contact me.

Future Sound of London

At last a post from one of my favourite Groups. Absolutly mad Geniuses from England. This is a duo that leaves you with the mouth open. For me they are the Kings of mixing. Blending so many different sounds together that you can nearly see a picture. I have three albums here for you that represents there genius. Sometime they change their name for example to Androgynous Amorphous ect. but they are always the same people (Garry Cobain and Brian Dougans.)


ISNESS
Psychodelic electronic mix thats gets you into space :) Incredible album from 2002.









DEAD CITIES
This album is from 1994. Insane remixes and sounds.











ALICE IN ULTRALAND
This album is from 2005 and definatly together with Isness one of their best.


All links are in the comment section.

Institute of Sound Performance - Starbird

A private release from a Berlin School like group, founded by two guys from Germany.
Has some interesting moments. This release is from 1989. Never heard of them again.
For you electronic fans.

Free System Project - Pointless Reminder

This album from the Dutch electronic group Free System Project is an absolutly must have. To my shame I have to admit I never heard of them until recently but I am a big fan already, you can buy ALL their albums with closed eyes. The sound is Berlin School TD, KS 70s like but trimmed to perfection. This album was from 1996 and re-released in 1999.


Tuesday, March 04, 2008

YOU - Timecode

Al last and thanks to Skudge Bladius we can listen to YOU's Timecode.
Great electronic album from this German Band that never reached big audiences but always had his fans.
In my humble opinion this is the best YOU album out there.

Wally Badarou - Colors of Silence

And because I got so many great albums lately here Wally Badarous last solo album. It was a limited edition and is now out of print. Great tunes, more african sound like, the typical Badarou Style even some Reggae Style. Very nice album.

Here is what Wally Badarou says himself about the album:
••• I went for it, nonetheless, and I'm glad I did it, even though it was all but nearly as succesful as "Echoes" or even "Words". Total lack of promotion made it an 'intimate' release, which was exactly what I was looking for: just a buzz-maker and time-buyer that would allow me to concentrate on the real thing as soon as I'd have time, which could also turn into a rare collecting item later, once the final versions made their way to success. You never know.

••• Let me make it very clear: "Colors Of Silence" was NOT my third instrumental album. Its limited edition already spoke against the idea. As suggested by the subtitle ("Musical Poetry For Yoga"), it was to be viewed as a soundtrack album first, and a conceptual 'demo' compilation album second. As minimalistic as it may sound (to some of my fans delight), it was not 'written' to be the type of album I've been known for, in any way. As always with of my demos, I'd be the only one to tell what will be retained for the final versions, out of the melody line, the chord changes, the atmosphere, the rhythmn, etc. Guess what 'Amber Whispers' could sound like at the end ...

Hoenig/Goettsching - Early Water

Another interesting Team up. This time Michael Hoenig and Manuel Goettsching. The recording was actually made in 1976 but not released until 1995. Very interesting early stuff.

Monday, February 25, 2008

Chris Franke - Circular Signs (Bootleg)

Ok here we have a very interesting release. A Bootleg from C.Franke with variations from some known themes and also some new Tracks. Unfortunatly no cover. If anyone is aware of another Franke Bootleg please let me know.

Friday, February 22, 2008

Michael Hoenig - RIAS Roadshow

Here we have another rare release from Michael Hoenig. This was a Radio Broadcast from around 1977 / 78 in Germany. Soundquality is no CD quality but not so bad either. Hope you anjoy.

Baumann/Haslinger/Baxter - Blue Room

Here we have an interesting album from 2 Ex Tangerine Dream members. Peter Baumann and Paul Haslinger teamed up on this 1992 album. It was planned to be released on the Private Music Label, but in the end never was. Unfortunatly this also was Peter Baumanns last musical release (at last to what I know).

Wally Badarou - Echoes

Here another Wally Badarou album from 1984. Echoes was quite succesful. If you don't know who he was read the info in the first Badarou post on this page.
Very lighthearted relaxing album.

Download it here

YOU - Electric Days

At last a YOU album. The first one from 1979. Berlin School type. Great sequences. I am still looking for the other YOU albums, if someone here has them please don't hesistate to contact me :)

Harald Grosskopf - Synthesist

And today another album from an Ashra Tempel member. Harald Grosskopf was the Drummer, but did also some solo albums, apart that he worked a lot with Klaus Schulze. This is his first album from 1980. Great tracks. Another fine rip from sualk111.

Manuel Goettsching - E2 E4

What can I say about this aboslutly great album from Guitarrist Manual Goettsching of Ashra Tempel ? Just you HAVE TO listen to it if you don't know it already. The Trance Scene is mad about this minimalistic album from 1981 and so am I.
Rip was made possible by sualk111, thanks a lot.

Art of Noise

First of all sorry for the long no post. I had to shut down my Soundtrack Blog because the Industry has an eye on the Blog community ...
Let's get right to the music. At last an Art of Noise post. There are just three bands in my humble opinion that are able to mix samples, music and keyboards the right way. First Yello, but if you think Yello is too comercial get Art of Noise, they really know how to mix Airplanes with Pianos or starting motors with a beating drums. They are famous because of there Voicesamples. At last there are "The Future Sound of London" the last albums from these guys are also just fantastic. (Stay tuned for an FSOL post)
I ll post these two albums from 1986 and 1987 when they were splitted up
already. Originally they were formed by Trevor Horn but in these two albums there were keyboardist/arranger Anne Dudley and keyboardist/programmer J.J. Jeczalik left. This was the peak of they're success with Art of Noise. Even though all the later albums are also great but these two albums are absoluty fantastic. Hope you get it.

Eddie Jobson - Theme of Secret

Great electronic album from Eddie Jobson from 1990 released on Peter Baumann Private Music Label.
This dynamic rock violinist has played with everyone from UK, Roxy Music, and Frank Zappa to Jethro Tull. Jobson's recordings as a leader showed much promise in their use of keyboards, computer-generated sounds, and wailing electric-violin solos.

Mind over Matter - Music for paradise

This is MOM first release. It is the CD version with 2 extra tracks from 1991. MOM is basically Klaus Hoffmann-Hoock. The music has a lot of asian influences and is more new age like. Anyhow a very nice album. This one was requested.

Bogmayr / Zugschrader - Blue Chip Orchestra

This is the first album of the Blue Chip Orchestra, conducted by Hubert Bognermayr. A fascinating fusion of classical influences, new age music, modern technology . Floating Sequences and melodies. Sounds sometimes a little like Software. These two guys are from Austria.

Alex Cima - Cosmic Connection

This 1979 release from frecnch composer Alex Cima is very interesting. Electronic Synth pop but without vocals. Again thanks to Tolouse Low Track for the recomdation and Anonymous for the upload. :)

German Electronic Synth Pop Disco

I am listening to these albums lately a lot and I thought you might also be interested in them.
First an album that I already posted some month ago:
Leda - Welcome to Joyland
The album was actually composed by Peter Baumann (Ex-Tangerine Dream) in 1978. This is a Pseudo Disco Pop album with Vocal sung by a Woman.
Very interesting work.

Get it here



The second album
Xynn - The computed Man.
Also german :). This album is from 1980.
Arranged by Kristian Schultze (he even worked with Giorgio Moroder on Scarface ect.)). Drums by Curt Cress. Keyboards by Xynn and Schultze. Electronic Songs sometimes romantic but never cheesy (at least to my point of view :) )
Very interesting Mix

Get it here



The third album:
JYL from 1984. The album was produced by Klaus Schulze.
The group was formed around a german singer Angela Werner who already had released 2 soloalbums. Interesting mix between Disco Electronic Music, close to Leda.

Get it here
I hope you enjoy these albums.
Thanks to Laserbeak (RIP) and Telekon to make them available and Tolouselowtrack to bring them to my attention because they are really hard to find albums. If someone has the other 2 Xynn albums or any of the A. Werner Soloworks please let me know. Thanks

Hosono & Yokoo - Cochin Moon

I leave the explication to pitchfork.com:
Before performing with Ryuichi Sakamoto in classic Japanese synth pop outfit Yellow Magic Orchestra (or just YMO), producer and onetime session bassist Haruomi Hosono made his share of eclectic music. If you're familiar with YMO, you might imagine he was involved in Kraftwerk-influenced electronic music, or perhaps more traditional pop, but as it happens, he made his name as session bassist and playing in bands like the psychedelic Apryl Fool and folk rockers Happy End-- a far cry from the modernist slant of his reputation in the West. However, he also made a record in 1978 called Cochin Moon with keyboardist Shuka Nishihara, and future YMO bandmates Sakamoto and Hideki Matsutake that is arguably more bizarre and forward thinking than anything he's done since.
Very interesting album.

Software - Chip Meditation Part 1

Software first album from 1985. (This is the CD release which contained 3 additional Tracks). Enjoy (and leave a short comment, please :) )

Friday, July 13, 2007

Wally Badarou - Words like a mountain

This is truly a Majestic piece of Electronic Music. Nearly classic music.
Wally Badarou produced a lot of music and even was the 5th invisible member of Level 42. This is one of his Solowork.
Just listen to "Leaving this place" or "Mt. Fuji" It is a must have.

Mark Shreeve - Thoughts of War

One of Marks firsts albums. If you like 70s TD and Klaus Schulze get this, because it's great.

Download it here

Software - Past Present Future CD1


As requested another Software album. It's an sampler (1987)from their previous albums.
Expect Hypnotic sequences and beautyful melodies.

Track 1 originally released on Beam-Scape.
Tracks 3, 4 and 6 taken from Chip-Meditation.
Track 7 taken from Phancyful Fire.
Tracks 2 and 5 previously unreleased.

Redshift II (Mark Shreeve) - Ether

Great electronic music from Mark Shreeve and Friends who founded a group called Redshift. They sound like a mix between Klaus Schulze - Tangerine Dream - Berlin School. Very interesting and a lot of pulsating sequences. This one is from 1997.
This was ul by Stevo. Thanks

Thursday, June 28, 2007

Sesselberg - Synthetik 1

This one is a really obsure release from 1971. To German guys and of course they were from Duesseldorf (Kraftwerk, Neu, Cluster ect.). Only 600 LPs were printed. No real melodies. Bubbling sounds that sounds like metalballs :) Very experimental but has some great moments.
Some sounds were used in the Dub Scene.
Hope you get it :)

Gandalf - Journey to an imaginary Land

This was Gandalfs first album from 1981. A lot more traditional instruments then his later works. Absolutly great album from the austrian new age wiz.

Download it here

Wednesday, June 20, 2007

Software - Syn Code Live

Another German Group. Software was Peter Mergener and Michael Weisser and during the 80s they released a lot of albums together.
This duo was really underrated. They composed beautyfully sequences and melodys. It's their own style. I will put up some other albums by them in the future.

Download it here

Automat

This find was really accidental. I never knew it even existed.
Here some explaining from Soundohm.com:

An obscure record with a curious story: Automat was a project headed by the Italian musicians from a pop band called Bottega dell'arte, Romano Musumarra, Claudio Gizzi (composers) and Mario Maggi (programmer of sounds in a Memory Controlled Synthesizer MCS70). They made an electronic album back in 1978, a curious mix of drone music, bizarre stuff ' a la Pierre Henry 'machine danse' and electro-pop in Kraftwerk or Jean Michel Jarre vein. The first side is totally taken by the long Automat suite by Claudio Gizzi, while the B side contains three shorter tracks by Musumarra: the track 'droid' was very famous in Brazil because was used like theme of a TV telenews, "Jornal da Globo" (Globo TV) in early 80´s. Every sounds on Automat was generated by the MCS70, a monophonic synth built by Luciano Torani, who intended to use the album as the demo disc for the MCS70 (all the tracks was programmed on an analog sequencer ). Unfortunately, Only one MCS70 synthesizer was produced.
I found this release on newprogshine.blogspot.com, check it out if you are into progmusic.

Klaus Schonning - Lydglimt

This was the first album from Danish composer Klaus Schonning who until shortly I never heard of. A friend of mine recommended me this album. And he was right this 1979 album sounds like an interesting mix between a beginning New Age, Electronic Kraut Rock album. Nicely done.

Paul Haslinger - World without Rules

And another Ex TD member. This time we have Paul Haslingers 2nd solo album.( The first one I will ul next week). Great rythms, strange sounds full ethnic. I think you will like it. Paul Haslinger is actually very much into Filmmusic.

Comments

To all you guys would be nice if you could leave a short comment when you dl the stuff. Thank you

Peter Baumann - Trans Harmonic Nights

This is probably Peter Baumann's best solo album. Trans Harmonic Nights (1979) features straight forward electronic music (even today it sounds actual). Unfortunatly after this he startet with Disco Music, which in my opinion was a waste. But in 1978 he released under a Pseudonym the Pseudo Disco album "Leda - Welcome to Joyland" very interesting Electronic/Pop/Disco Mix with a lot of TD Sounds.

Wolfgang Riechmann - Wunderbar

Another German Composer Wolfgang Riechmann from Duesseldorf. For sure no one outside Germany will know this one. He even played with Wolfgang Fluer (Ex-Kraftwerk) and Michael Rother (Solo Artist) in a Band back in the 60s. This album was released in 1978, unfortunatly he himself was killed 4 days before the official release of his own record in a burglar.
Very nice album, floating sequences, the first track sounds like a spaghetti western theme.
This one was originally posted on the great

The Big Picture - Michael Shrieve/David Beal

A great electronic album from 1989 when the synthesizers were actually synthesizers and not some software progs so called VST's :). Very rythmic a lot of percussions and drums. Highly recommended.
