This record was all the more noteworthy as it bore no resemblance whatsoever to what was expected of avant-garde electronica and displayed no…

Blue Moon - Original Motion-Picture Sound-Track
Original score to the 1986 Roxy Film Production Blue Moon by Dieter Moebius (of C/Kluster/Harmonia/_ & Roedelius fame...). Nice, if somewhat short selection of synth-themes & pain-relieving sonics. Surprisingly low usage of era sound-producing technologies, although they ARE in there (the DX7 ruined E-Music for an entire generation...). 80's Moebius/Roedelius output is only now starting to ripen w/age, no reason not to enhance your personal selection w/a crate or two of this fine ruby port

Cubic Yellow
early solo album of Luigi Archetti (GURU GURU, TIERE DER NACHT). Featuring; Dieter Moebius (CLUSTER),and HUBL.G! Japan press only. ".. this exceptional downtempo electronica album with hoovering swells that sound like Dom & Roland played at 33 1/3 rpm instead of 45 along with skittering breakbeats not unlike a stripped down Amon Tobin. Fans of Biosphere or The Orb should definitely take note of this one!!!" - aquarius.
