Wolfgang Düren "Eyeless Dream" (1980)

"Wolfgang Düren became more widely known to people as the chairman of Waldorf Music. Before founding Waldorf Music he partnered with Wolfgang Palm, the man behind PPG, and distributed his synths in the late seventies till the fall of PPG in the mid eighties...While he was distributing or later in charge of building synths, he was also a musician. In the late seventies he recorded the LP "Eyeless Dream". This record featured many sounds of the early PPG wavetable synths that just have had become available to some musicians searching for a new kind of sound beyond the conventional synth sounds using filters and modulations as main building blocks to shape their sound."

Arthur Brown "Requiem" (1982)

this one’s kind of a tough nut to crack actually (mainly due to its’ inherent “nothingness”) but what i do find appealing is that despite being birthed from well within an power-grind environ (the hallowed halls of ucla) this is probably more zonked/“automatic”-sounding than most private/bedroom-electronic lps of the same era (or of any time between 4775 BCE and -1976 ADNK47).

hear. Get it.
