'A treasure trove of late 70s French disco funk – actually sound library material from the Tele Music archives – featuring positively killer bass lines, keys and drums, with a warmth and a groove that just slays so much of the better known dancefloor material of the era! Includes great stuff by Spatial & Co, Disco & Co, Voyage and Arpadys. Classic cosmic disco all the way' dusty

the most crucial tracks as cherry-picked off several late 70's space disco group albums on Tele Music library, allah dem featuring Sauveur Mallia in some capacity [or another]. a real guilty pleasure round these parts, not to be confused with 2005 stars group or black devil, but operating in a similar orbit. killer dance-floor fillers in 320 or FLACK, jacques. just don't hate til you heard, ya herd? dj's take note

hey folks, long time! owl is far away on 'business' so i kind of have carte blanche to drop whatever i feel like. sweet freedom! here goes some classic, berlin school cosmic synth that really sends me. i found it on owl's hard-drive in the new-age section, for what it's worth :-) i believe this is the re-ish of bernd's first album, ripped at a very voluminous 256 kbps

All songs written, recorded and mixed September 2008 - March 2010 in Cleveland, OH.
Vinyl is mostly clear/colorless with a small amount of black marbling. Edition of 650 copies

'John Elliott of Emeralds presents another dazzling solo opus following the Imaginary Softwoods LP, pressed up on cloudy clear vinyl, housed in beautiful glossy sleeve and limited to 650 copies for the universe. With 'Outer Space' Elliott effectively continues the studies of mid 20th century electronic music composers such as Nik Pascal and Laurie Spiegel, translating the potential of pure electrical signal into a sublime meditational tool, converting electricity into acoustic pressure, attempting to find the melody of physics. He's worked for three years on this album, eschewing the use of digital synthesizers and arpeggiation to sculpt analogue waves into an ocean of sound whose unfathomable depth couldn't be achieved without this deeply personal method of practice. With an array of synths, his melancholy milky way plumes elicit intrepid moods for the astral wanderer, cast off into the almost violent darkness of 'Quartz Synthesizer' to arrive at the tranquility of 'The Planck Era' six tracks later, dazed yet revitalised' - some distro hype

new-ish full length from the knob twiddler of emeralds. sold out i think. 320 rips!

insanely insane electronic lp from the netherlands. his list of gear reads like a wet dream & must've cost a fortune back in the day & with the current mark-up for vintage synths, could likely put the kids thru college or getcha that cozy summer cottage in kerala. thematically based upon the inner-workings of the body but methinks it's just an excuse to get weird with it. definitely one of a kind. 320 vocoded ventricles
