Robot Rock du Jour: Experimental Products – Glowing In The Dark (1984)
I want to radiate as soon as I can, so I, too, can glow in the dark.
What is it about this city that makes me crave analog synthiness?
Glowing in the dark again…
End of line…
Robot Rock du Jour: Starter – Minijupe (1981)
OK. So, pretend for a minute that lead singer Francis Foss DOESN’T look and sound like Dana Carvey taking the piss out of no wave bands.
In that hot minute, you will surely discover how rad this song is because you, after all, love les minijupes (miniskirts) as much as I do. And Korg MS-20s.
SCHEMATIC: Dana Carvey, record label and cover artwork, some band photos…
Keyser Söze Alert : Oviformia Sci – Fashion Magazines (1982?)
Oh, hell yes.
This is some super-fine minimal jamón synth in the Aviador Dro vein, complete with original, highly conceptual music videos. As far as I can tell, this stuff wasn’t pressed on vinyl. If anyone has a beat on this wax, I’m buying. Peep the Korg MS-20 BTW.
SCHEMATIC: Another outrageously cool video from Oviformia Sci and links to more music…
Robot Rock du Jour: Crash Course in Science – Flying Turns (1981)
This EP/12″ gets me all wound up with some serious non-goth electro industrial madness!
Crash Course in Science was formed in 1979 while the three members were attending art school in Philadelphia.Flying Turns is off their 12″ Signals from Pier Thirteen originally published on Press Records in 1981.
SCHEMATICS: More videos and MP3s from the 12″…
Party Time: Saturday Robot Party @ The Idle Hour (Baltimore, MD)
VIGR is in the house. 4+ hour rare vinyl set. Need I say more? Hope to see you there! I’ll try to keep track of the setlist…
Robot Rock du Jour: Liaisons Dangereuses – Los Niños Del Parque (1981)
German EBM (Electronic Body Music) pioneers, Liaisons Dangereuses are goin’ for it full throttle on this track. This particular live version was filmed in Manchester in 1982. Acid synthlines abound, making this track a landmark Chicago/Detroit precursor. iSpy my favorite synth duo the Korg MS-20 and MS-50.
SCHEMATIC: Live in Düsseldorf, synths, famous female band member…
