  - Jah Wobble - V.I.E.P. (1980, UK, new wave/electronic/dub)
    03/30/07
    Together with Betrayal, this is the best Jah Wobble lp/ep, to my taste. Totally weird.
    I once wanted to do the Wobble version of Blueberry Hill at Paradiso's Latente Talente Show in Amsterdam, but the band didn't know where to begin. At the Debutistenfestival in S61, Roermond, the ba
  - Wolfgang Düren - Eyeless Dream (1980, DE, electronic)
    03/28/07
    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. Later Wolfgang distributed the synths of W
  - Jah Wobble - Island Paradise (1987, UK, new wave/ethnic/dub)
    03/26/07
    Despite some re-issues (Betrayal, Psalms) and samplers (Early Years, Anthology), a lot of the music of Jah Wobble never came available on cd and probably never will. He is too busy with producing new music on 30 Hertz Records.
    I will post some 12"s with earlier work that (at least some son

    A new craze is going on: building miniature versions of analogue synthesizers...

  - The Flirts - Passion (1982, US, pop/electronic)
    03/21/07
    The Flirts were a creation of Bobby Orlando. B-52's like music; in the slower, synthesizer based songs, more like Donna Summer. Bobby O. was producer of Divine, the early Pet Shop Boys and Lisa Lisa.
    
    Side one:

  - Mike Hankinson - The Unusual Classical Synthesizer (1972, UK/US, electronic/classical)
    03/14/07
    Mike Hankinson was born in Great Britain and lives in South Africa, but this lp was produced in the United States. I got the mp3's and scans from a visitor, who was so kind to allow me to share them.
    
    from the sleeve notes:
    This record is the first L.P. ever recorded
  - Joop Stokkermans - The Magic of the ARP-Synthesizer (1970, NL, electronic)
    03/08/07
    Stokkermans is a famous composer in the Netherlands. He wrote the music for television series like Q & Q, Oebele, Tita Tovenaar, Kunt U Mij De Weg Naar Hamelen Vertellen Meneer, Barbapapa and De Berenboot. And he wrote songs for Dutch artists like Jasperina de Jong, Rob de Nijs, Paul de Leeuw, S

    The server will be moved to another location tomorrow morning (C.E.T.). It also gets a new ip-number, so it takes a while before all the name servers pick that up.
  - Blueprint - Prototypes (1980, UK/CA, pub rock/new wave)
    03/06/07
    Prototypes was a sampler by the Blueprint label. On it, 2 songs each of four acts: Fabulous Poodles, Karel Fialka, The Crooks and B.B.Gabor. The bands had not much in common and Blueprint was not a success and disappeared soon.
    I personally like the dark synthesizer work of Karel Fialka the bes
  - The Love Machine - Electronic Music to Blow Your Mind By!!! (1968, US, electronic)
    03/03/07
    This is 60's library beat with Hammond organ and they put all the effects on it they could get their hands on. Like Jimmie Haskell did on his exotica Countdown album and Belgium band The Free Pop Electronic Concept on A New Exciting Experience.
    My copy is a bootleg cd (Zippy). The last 2 s
  - Sammie America's Gasphetti - Too much understanding (1980, NL, art rock)
    03/02/07
    Sammie America's Gasphetti was the band of the Dutch artist Tom America, he later formed MAM. I found this single on the attic of a youth center and you can hear that. My noise filter did its job, but still... The b-side, Orange, is so short, they play it twice and it still does under the two m
  - The Donkeys - Don't Go - Let's Float (1980-1981, UK, power pop)
    03/01/07
    I must admit, it was a little disappointment when I heard this again. In my mind the Donkeys were excellent, but they are only quite good. A bit like the Jam in the early days. I like the close harmony singing.
    I have, and post, the two last singles (from four) they released.
    Later they re
