Rave on

Tidying up at the weekend, I came across this compilation.

I hadn't listened to it in years, but when I stuck it on all the memories (vague as they were) came flooding back. This compilation was the soundtrack to numerous parties.

Stand out track for me (apart from the Global Communication one) was this stomper from Abfarht.

The Soft Moon - Breathe the Fire

Dunno anything about these guys apart from the fact that this track appeared on Andrew Weatherall's Vice mix. (Download the mix it if you don't have it - it's ace.)

This is a nice bit of Kraut.

Gate - Freak

From the fantastic A Republic of Sadness album from Dead C's Michael Morley's Gate side-project, here is one of my songs of the year.

Pier Mix for "The Visitors"

1970 - Wolfgang Dauner

Bit of an epic year for auld Wolfgang, 4 LP's 2 bands all classics, well Et Cetrea formed in '70 and released in '71, but for the purpose of this post we'll squeeze it in here. Dauner is one of the granddaddy's of the Krautrock movement and in my opinion one of its greatest practitioners, his first record, cut in 1964 is one of the first free jazz records recorded in Europe. A brilliant jazz pianist and collaborator with some European greats of the time, like Jean-Luc Ponty, Fred Braceful, Sigi Schwab and Nani Neumaier to name a few, check out a track from each LP and keep exploring....
