ELECTRONIC EXPERIENCE

Sorry for the lack of posts in recent life, I am actually currently working on some music (dewolfe influenced of course) that I haven't been able to finish for quite a while. This week's first collection is a rare moog record by Michael Hankinson. For those in the dark about Hankinson, he was an Englishman living in South Africa where he was director of EMI Music for the Pleasure label for a bit, and was responsible for at least another album that was called "The Unusual Classical Synthesizer" which was composed in the Walter Carlos style. I'm a particular fan of "Poet Poet".

TIME CYCLE

Electronic library album from 1984, in my opinion better than the average 80s libraries. James Asher plays the following instruments: Roland CSQ600, Roland Jupiter 8, Moog Prodigy synths, Washburn bass, Hyaman drum kit and Linn Drum. Delightful sheet.

7 DIAS DE ENERO

Quite rare & interesting soundtrack from a Spanish thriller film I settled down to recently with a glass of mango and some hemp. I don't know too much about the composer Nicholas Peyrac or Roland Romanelli who arranged it, but I can say that it is a wonderful, fully replenished zoot musik. Released by Apolo Records in 1979. Exclusive right here.

FOREST OF EVIL

I've been on an anarchist musik tip this week. Browsing through a catalogue that was forwarded to me by Underground Reverie, I came across some proper gems. I was somewhat taken aback by this terrifying cue music for horror, mystery, drama, suspense & mystery. The pieces are composed by Eric Allen and Frank Reidy. Enjoy

WONDER

L'Imparfaite - the word that comes to mind when I think of Peter Reno's music, a somewhat earlier version of Cylob or Mark Cheyne. Imperfect, yet broad, lush and panoramic in so many ways. Perfect.

DMX KREW - FREEESH

Two tunes from one of my favourite producers- and one of the nicest blokes in the game. Ed DMX or DMX Krew - as he likes to call himself - has produced over 5 studio albums for Richard D James' [AFX Twin] Rephlex imprint over the years. One of these was an album composed of recordings that were first aired on Breakin' Records but taken together and edited to be put out on Rephlex in 1997. It's an amazing album, where synthpop and acid reign supreme. Classic 303 sounds are mashed with some killer vocals, performed by Ed himself. One is "Ready to Roll", a 303-heavy native floor filler whilst "I'm All Alone" is a little bit darker and carries all the texture of a classic model 500 track. 


Enjoy it here on .flac!

FUKAMACHI  - INTRODUCING "PONTA" MURAKAMI

Produced by Jun Fukumachi, who also plays keyboards and moog & arp synthesizers. This is a really crazy record, plenty of experimentation around percussive sounds (timpani, gongs, cymbals, Japanese drums) often processed by electronic devices. This is a fantastic example of the kind of early records that explored power jazz funk territories.
