Lots of layers of sound here – that raw electronic style of early Cabaret Voltaire, mixed with an increasing interest both in found sound samples, including some cool spoken bits – and in elements from a growing global soundscape as well! There's some unusual undercurrents to the music ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Cabaret Voltaire —
Johnny Yesno ... CD Mute (UK), 1981. Used ...
Out Of Stock
A totally cool chapter in the early career of Cabaret Voltaire – a stark soundtrack done for a film that's even more obscure than this record! If you dig the creepy, dark early sound of the Cabs, you'll love this one – as the music's got plenty of moody Sheffield electronics, some ... read moreCD
A mindblowing classic from Can – a set that has the group just getting better with each new record – to a point where it's the early 70s, and they're already in territory that's completely their own! The set features long tracks that spin out beautifully – driven that that ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Smoking live work from Can – a set that's very different than their studio work of the time, and which maybe gives an idea of how they came up with all the fantastic sounds on their famous albums! The set's really just one long freewheeling performance – driven by stunning ... read moreCD

A great addition to the 70s catalog of the legendary Can – a set of live recordings made in Stuttgart in 1975, all of which have the group working in this wonderfully long-jamming style! Tracks are long, and maybe even more proggy than the group's studio work of the time – an all-instru ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Can —
Soundtracks ... CD Mute/Spoon/Restless Retro, 1970. Used ...
Out Of Stock
The second album from Can – and one that the group maybe likes to think of as more of a bridge between Monster Movie and Tago Mago – tracks done for a variety of film projects, but which also still really show the quick evolution of the group at the time! Some of the work still ... read moreCD
The raw, mesmerizing debut of Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds! On From Her To Eternity, Cave stalks and staggers right along the line between the aggro caterwaul of The Birthday Party and the haunting moodiness of later records with the Bad Seeds – and it's as distinct and exciting as ever ... read moreCD
(Great two disc package with 5.1 DVD-audio surround mix and bonus videos!)
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds —
Good Son ... Cassette Mute/Elektra, 1990. Used ...
Out Of Stock
A great one from Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds – a record that explores his softer side, if you want to call it that – the trudging melodies, morose poetry and banshee wails offset brilliantly by soul stirring string parts and easier piano melodies! Definitely capping off the 80s and ... (Cassettes, Rock)read moreCassette
Features Bad Seeds classics like "Mercy Seat" and "Deana" – all newly remastered, with a 5.1 surround mix on accompanying DVD, plus acoustic versions of select tracks and videos. CD
(Great two disc package with 5.1 DVD-audio surround mix and bonus videos!)
Holger Czukay —
Movies ... CD Mute/Spoon, 1979. Used ...
Out Of Stock
Not a soundtrack album from Holger Czukay – despite what you might guess from the title – and instead a batch of nicely tuneful, often-catchy tracks that somewhat follow the style of late 70s work from Can! Not surprisingly, Holger's joined by group makes Jaki Liebezeit on drums, and ... read moreCD

Tracks include "Opus Dei", "Trans-National", "How The West Was Won", "The Great Seal", "Leben Heirt Leben", "Geburt Einernation", "Leben-tod", and "FIAT" LP, Vinyl record album
A seminal punk-funk classic from the end of the 70s – one that's as brilliantly abrasive and brashly fresh today as it was when it was released! The group are working here in equal parts dub, funk, and lots of scratchy guitars and heady bass – with a style that would later be picked up ... read moreCD
Residents —
Eskimo ... CD Mute, 1979. Used ...
$9.99
Seminal sounds from The Residents – a record that's purportedly inspired by the ceremonial music of the Eskimo – but it's very a much a Residents album, and one that follows their own absurdist adventuresome impulses! There's often this cold, drifting wave of sound in the background ... read moreCD
A groundbreaking bit of work from Telex – the Belgian trio that features earlier electronic experimentalists Marc Moulin and Dan Lacksman – both artists who really refine their sound for a groovier, clubbier style that really takes off! At a time when most UK electronic outfits were ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A sweet electro classic from Telex – one of those records that had the Euro trio years ahead of their time, and working with a sound that went onto influence a fair bit of American club, dance, and hip hop in the decade to come! The record is awash in all sorts of great electronics – ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Telex —
Sex ... LP Mute (UK), 1981. New Copy (reissue)...
$29.9932.99
Very cool work from Telex – a trio who are really coming into their own on this third record, and maybe starting to resonate with some of the groups they helped inspire in the world of electro pop – particularly the more playful acts of the German new wave! As with some of those groups ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A seminal bit of pre-electro crossover – featuring the cold hard vocals of Alison Moyet, and also Vince Clark of Erasure. Some very tasty keyboard work! Includes the post-disco club smashes "Don't Go" and "Situation", plus "Goodbye Seventies", "Winter ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
