Clara Mondshine "Luna Africana" (1981) (45 RPM)

Excellent cosmic, almost "minimal" synth record from the alter-ego of Walter Bachauer, onetime member of the ethno-kraut band Between, who also worked with David Behrman on "A Traveller's Dream Journal" and "Interspecies Smalltalk" in the late 1980s (available on the Leapday Night CD), just before he committed suicide (bummer). Released on Klaus Schulze's Innovative Communications Label.

This was posted on Mutant Sounds a couple months back at the wrong speed (supposed to be a 45 RPM'er but it sounds great at 33 as well). More info and cover scans there.

There is another sweet Mondshine record, Memorymetropolis, that is worth checking out, where Clara fully descends from that African moon into the jungle.

And I have a rip of Visions of Audio the last record Clara made in 1987. It's pretty spotty compared to these two, so probably only for the die-hard Mondshiners. Maybe I'll post it if there's any interest, but these two records are f*cking awesome.

So here you go, Luna Africana at 45 RPM, as it was meant(?) to be heard.
