KoolMisterDJ - Levin And Black Haze Drifting

continuing with the mixes.................
this experimental mix comes from record collector and DJ Julian Sulz aka KoolMisterDJ from Munich. Into digging since the late nineties he nowadays focusses on obscure 45s, Italo, Cosmic and all things Synth. You'll find him on soundcloud too : )
The mix he kindly made for us is a psychedelic excursion into the cosmos - illustrating the dream journey of friends Levin and Black Haze.
Now get your spacship ready to fly.....

LISTEN!

Graphic Soundtrack

More Torgue. This one is a bit unusual in that it was commissioned to coincide with the release of a graphic novel with artwork by Christian Lejalé and Philippe Caza. Henry Torgue composed the music and performed on synthesizers and piano with accompaniment from Orchestre De La Ville De Rennes. Memoire is a long time favorite. Hope you enjoy it.

Memoire

Melting wax ....

As far as I know there are 5 "interesting" libraries on UBM. Two of them posted here already and off we go with a third. Icarus by David Rosenstein. Mr Rosenstein is just another Ralph Haldenby, I suppose. Nobody else but Uwe Buschkötter and his crew... most of the tracks were written by famous german jazzman Manfred Schoof. And so the record is in fact a little jazzy. First track - Weather Report, if that doesn't give a direction? Well actually they're going many directions again on this one. Excellent Jazz Funk and Fusion is one of them, of course. But also some cosmic electronics and to my personal pleasure some ambient tunes as well. Check out Nucleus on the B-Side. Doesn't the synth sound exactly like on Skyracer? And don't you think that Icarus might be a sequel of Skyracer, thematically?
Nuff talk - time for a listen. Link in the comments.
Cheers, Basso

the comet.......

The comet arrived in 1986 and he blow the minds of the ones who liked their New Age Music a little cosmic. The titles of course all are of a cosmic nature. Such as The Comet, Orion, Plejades, Black Hole, etc.....
I deeply dig every song on this record and I hope you'll enjoy it too. More info and copies galore

Cheers, Basso

Starship Africa

Found this one at the fleamarket this weekend and it ruled my recordplayer like a true space king is supposed to....

Cosmique Minimalisme

Magazin Frivole was Blenner's second lp for the Sky label. This was a bit more accomplished than La Vogue and is therefore a more sought after record. The instrumentation is all electronic and the music is mostly instrumental with a few vocoded vocals on Métropole Agile.

Cosmic Aviators

Another Besombes experiment, this time with his band Hydravion. This is the first of two lps recorded at the end of the 7os, this one in 1977. Three guitarists in the band including Philippe himself, still the sounds of synthesizers predominate. 5 tracks ranging in duration from 3½ to 10½ minutes.

Philippe Besombes - Synthesizers, Mellotron, Electric Piano and Guitars
Patrick Verbeke - Guitar
Cooky Rhinoceros - Guitar
Christ Saint Roch - Bass and Synthe Bass
Pierre Bataillet - Drums
Dominique Esnault - Drums
Christian Werbrouck - Special Effects

Hydravion

What the Thunk?

.... and another pretty cosmic library. This time from Great Britain. A little more heroic / epic sounds than on the superb Sauveur Mallia LP posted by Cesare but still very listenable.... off we go!
Cheers,
Basso

Dreamworld!

I hope the picture of the back cover is good enough to get an idea of the instrumentation of this album. The Fichter brothers recorded it in Bruno Spoerri's studio where they probably found a LOT of electronic equipment to play with. And how lovely they played. Listen to "Dreamworld's Symphony" and fly to DREAMWORLD.........
