A fiendishly good night was had by all at our 'Keep The Dead Alive' bash at East Village. The lyrics of this classic from Don Ray provide a fitting summary of the night's activities and you can check out more pics on our Facebook page here.
Rune is a leading light of the Norwegian nu-balearic-cosmic-call it whatever scene, though apperas to be much less prolific than fellow Scandinavians such as Lindstrom, who is a collaborator here. A collection of brilliantly wonky, wierd, squelchy nu-balearic-cosmic-sounds where even the most 'up' moment on 'Nautilus' is still pretty laid back. Check it here
More from the bearded Scando-house mafia. A decent Doves outing gets a folky, funky, electronic makeover from Prins Thomas and backed with a great Still Going remix too. Worth tracking down.
Keeping it electronic, cosmic and camp this one from David Keaton was released in France in 1983 and in the US on Roulette Records..jpg)
The last in a cosmic disco 'Baia Sound' trilogy this week, this originated from Germany in 1978. Slightly bonkers, trippy in parts and apparently another Baldelli play. Hey it's Friday, lets fly some funk right up to the moon!
This release on Sidewalk records from 1977 seems to be prized for the tracks 'Woman' and 'Don't You You Know Who Did It?' (which is excellent). Both were apparently played by the 'father of comsic disco' Daniele Baldelli and his fans have payed big bucks for the record since. This is the third track on the EP and a lovely spacey disco groove it is too. Much easier to track down on a 7" and you get the bonus of some quite sexy options on sleeve art depending on which release you go for:
Ganymed was an Austrian space disco outfit who took their name from an asteroid that looks suspiciously like a huge disco ball. Like a lot of European disco, their music has an electronic feel with camp tendencies. This one from the album 'Takes You Higher' is no exception but it works for me as I hope it does for you. The asteroid is pretty cool too, check it out.
