Stay Tuned.

"The 22-letter alphabet did not lead to a society of literate Israelite readers, but a society of hearers, who would gather to hear the Torah scroll read to them by a priest. The printing press and television set did not lead to a society of writers and producers, but one of readers and viewers, who were free to enjoy their own perspective on the creations of an elite with access to the new tools of production. And the computer has not led to a society of programmers, but one of bloggers -- free to write whatever we please, but utterly unaware of the underlying biases of the interfaces and windows that have been programmed for us."

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.
