ROBERT SCHROEDER “The Turn of a Dream” (1987)

Late ’80s synth washes from a guy who built electronics for Klaus Schulze in the ’70s, ideal for isolation tank or Carl Sagan soundtrack.
I had this on the earphones a couple of weekends ago as I was sloshing through the sleet on my way to the incredible Burtynsky Oil show at the Corcoran and it was perfect inside and outside.
AMON DUUL II “Spaniards & Spacemen” (1978)

Wow, Düül fans might hate this song even more than Can fans hate “Like Inobe God” but I’m definitely interested in Krauty-disco-flamenco excursions so this sits pretty well with me.
HOT LEADS
Recently posted gems from all over:
Never Enough Rhodes shares this great Marvin Gaye/Mizell Brothers jam. News to me!
Dream Chimney shares this Santo & Johnny-meets-Amon Duul cut from Eroc.
And Mind on the Run shares a tremendous track from Sir Richard Bishop’s new record on Drag City. Unbelievable guitar on this.
Don’t sleep!
HOLGER CZUKAY “Blessed Easter” (1987)

Czukay’s post-Can work is the shit. I particularly dig his tape manipulations and use of found audio; the greatest of these is Movies’ “Persian Love”.
“Blessed Easter” is a close second though, blending a recording of Pope John Paul II leading Easter services with a dubby Jah Wobble baseline, radio fragments, and a languid electronic bed. Soooo good.
