[quote author=“minicold”]Simply : John Foxx : Metamatic : a record you can find easily for a few euro’s/dollars and one of my all time favourites. Okay, everybody has quite enough of the “Underpass” smasher but, this records is far more than this killer.
Agreed. I know this album dosen’t win the “obscurity trophy” but it’s still one of my favorite albums ever.
I bought a copy of Crash, the album Foxx did with Louis Gordon a few years back and I really like that as well. It’s not quite as stripped down as Metamatic but it’s no “Golden Section” either.
Front 242 : Geography (double dvd-format; came out some 2 years ago) : apart from the fact that the first lp of them is a real beauty (minimal ebm), it is the 2nd disc that is really interesting with old material of Prothese and Underviewer : there are real minimal smashers on this disc. My favourite : “Trouble” of “Underviewer”.
Yes, John Foxx! How could I forget.
His albums with Louis Gordon are all great. His latest is different though. Higly influenced by Neu!, Cluster, Kraftwerk, Harmonia, Klaus Schulze, the usual German suspects, it has resulted in a very pleasant record. (Going to his Amsterdam gig in two weeks time, I have got very high expectations as I have never seen him perform live before)
Rheingold—“Der Fan” has got some nice minimal tunes.
Vinyl On Demand just rereleased Ceramic Hello’s classic ” The Absence Of A Canary” on limited vinyl. Cheaper then the elusive original of course.
-The Cheese Product records
-Magic Dragon - Emotional Landscapes, there is a gretminimal track, always to find for 5 dollars or so…
-Many of french rock/coldwave stuff : Charles De Goal, End Of Data, Résistance…never more than 20 euros…
-The french Stereo 7’’ or maxi.

Yep. The usual German suspects and a good measure of Cathedral Oceans. “Looped Los Angeles” is a track in which you can hear a hommage to 70’s German electronics. Nice track.
I mentioned the rerelease of Ceramic Hello’s elusive album earlier. I got it today and I am so pleased with it that I just wanted to share that with you. The first LP of this release contains the original album but it is the second LP of this release that offers us a real treat because it contains tracks that were supposed to be on the never released second album. Buy it or regret it.
I was thinking of Richard Bone—The Joy Of radiation 12”, but then I checked Gemm and saw the prices that were asked for it today. Hmm. Buying it for one guilder fifteen years ago was definitly a good bargain.
Very nice 12” though.
I’ve got a ripped copy of the Joy of Radiation 12” as well as the Brave Tales LP and a few odds and ends by Richard Bone. A friend mailed me the vinyl, I cleaned them up the best I could and ripped them to CD for him. HTey turned out OK, and saved me the $$$ that I would have had to spend on GEMM. I’d still like the originals, but I need to find a job first.
I was able to get a copy of Bon’e latest album and was really caught unaware. It’s total Kitaro/John Tesh/Yanni new age stuff. Not really my style.
Pauline Murray & the Invisible Girls - Searching for heaven 10” & 7” can be had for a very decent price. It has a very nice new wave disco song on the b-side called Animal Crazy.
Talking about Richard Bone….there was a cd released last year or the year before I don’t remember with unreleased tracks by Bone.
It’s really good! the liner notes of the CD are nice too.
If you contact orlandomaniac who’s a member here (i think I saw him here)
Maybe he still has copies of it. I highly recommended. It’s an official release too BTW.
