Wax Treasure (Vinyl)

[endo]

You're right @GraemeE and I was mistaken. Oxygene was released in France End of 1976 and worldwide in 1977. I got it from my first school exchange partner (from Portishead near Bristol) in 1981, then I was 13 yrs old. It was different to what I was hearing at that time (probably ABBA, Elton John and the Beatles), but I liked it and it broadened my horizon. Always kept it because it did something with me, and it has this amazing cover art.

@GraemeE said in Wax Treasure (Vinyl):

Last of the snow and ice is melted so getting spacey tonight

Klaus Schulze and JMJ afterwards. Great tunes for a spacey night @GraemeE !

Would have pulled out some
‚Stratosfear’ - Tangerine Dream afterwards.

First time introduced to Klaus Schulze, I was a teenager and couldn’t hold the breath for the time a track of him used to take.
But I can nitty-gritty remember hearing him on a nighttime car trip from Italy back to Germany years later. Cassette after Cassette ran through the car stereo and landscapes and time flew by.
From there on everything with the label ‚Dark Side Of The Moog‘ has my attention.

Here is ‚Mindphaser‘ (1981, one of the last outputs of his former label ‚Brain‘)
‚Dig It‘ from 1980
‚Mediterranean Pads‘ 1990

Which I had something from his first ten solo albums.

@Aetas something magical happens when you Germans get your hands on synthesizers

[Aetas]

Perhaps it is more about the ,System‘.
Wait for the transportable Moog .

Had to pull this one out today..

[Mizmazzle]

I’m going to need all the Shelly Manne records now!! Hoping the new Acoustic Sounds release of Volume 1 is just the beginning!!

[mclaincausey]

As a huge Andre Previn fan I’d recommend this one @Mizmazzle he was only 27 at the time

[Inorganic]

@Aetas Thanks for taking the time to share these links - I'm going to listen to them today as I work

[Inorganic]

There are so many gems out there waiting to be discovered - thanks for tipping me off to Oxygene @GraemeE . What a journey this album takes you on - I was trying to describe it to my 10yr old son and 'the soundtrack to a celestial pod of whales migrating through the universe' was what came to my mind's eye. Also @endo you're right, that album art is also a masterpiece. thank you gents!!! This album is on my 'to buy' list.

[GraemeE]

@Inorganic you ever get into any of the slightly earlier German stuff?

Thinking like cluster, harmonia, neu etc

[Tago Mago]

@GraemeE some love for Neu!

[Inorganic]

@GraemeE this is all new territory for me

Anyone who digs classical, going back to Previn, he had a foot each in classical and jazz. Queue the Gershwin! On the keys and conducting here:
