Edgar Froese - Kamikaze 1989 (1982)



Tangerine Dream mainman Edgar Froese scored the soundtrack to this weird cyberpunk science fiction thriller, which starred Rainer Werner Fassbinder, in 1982.  The album is a lot of fun, offering some paranoid sounding proto-techno alongside some lush soundscapes like this one, Blue Panther:


The album as a whole really got me hankering to hear some of my favourite old Detroit techno:

Gérard Manset - La Mort D'Orion


 
 

This record was rescued from a box of old vinyl in a charity shop in Woodingdean, where it languished amongst heaps of records by Des O'Connor and Slim Whitman.  Weird to find such a strange, symphonic psychedelic prog-rock album in amongst such incongruous company.

The music here is dense and otherworldly and Manset employs a broad palette incorporating gypsy violins, sitars, fuzz guitars and experimental recording techniques alongside all the traditional instruments of the orchestra. 



Tracklist:

01         Introduction         
02         Où L'Horizon Prend Fin        
03         Salomon L'Hermite         
04         Final        
05         Vivent Les Hommes        
06         Enchaînement         
07         Ils         
08         Paradis Terrestre        
09         Elégie Funèbre
