A killer set of electronics from BEF – the production arm of Heaven 17, stepping out here in one of their few solo projects! The set is essentially instrumental readings of tunes by the more famous parent group – but done here in really tripped-out versions that play heavily with... read more

A couple of lost proggy and surprisingly funky early 80s albums by keyboardist Tony Carey – his Explorer and Yellow Power LPs – together in cool 2LP gatefold set from Medical Records! Just a few years earlier, Carey was playing with Ritchie Blackmore in Rainbow – but the sound of... read more

Classic work from the legendary Alexander Robotnick – an artist who not only scored big on European dancefloors in the early 80s – but one whose electronic grooves also went onto really shape the sound of house music here in the US! Although a few of Robotnick's tunes were issued over... read more
