Loon - Lamb

Label : Loon Records - LP033
Country : Switzerland
Year : 1997
Format : LP

Loon--or Christian Pfluger, or Die Welttraumforscher-- is a project involving synthesizers as it were. A nondescript packaging containing mellow scapes of newage and a sprinkle of minimal EM. I've fallen a bit in love with this guys musics over the past span of time since time memorial 2017, but the sum of those lovely parts aren't exactly present here. Gone are the infectious, jilted melodies and avant-popisms and in comes a more laid back feel.


Still enjoyable, though. The more stuff by this I have the merrier, so to speak. Been awhile since I have encountered an artist whose work I search out for with glee and inconspicuous fervence.

Mox - Guldkorn

Label : Börft Records - Börft034
Year : 1990
Country : Sweden
Format : C90

Quite the place, Sweden is. As good a place as any for such musics to be produced for all t' hear. Börft, for the uninitiated, is a rather prolific and often excellent Swedish tape label, or just regular label seeing as they have released in quite a few formats. Digressing from the digression, this is great stuff, cut from the cloth of one of the most glorious groups to emerge from the musical prime-ordeal stew that is 80s cassette culture in its xerographic zeal: SMERSH.

 What I mean by this is that this is some hardhitting, minimal synth pop with a little flavor of industrial/punk chic. The synthlines and drum beats are nice. Recommended, if anyone has more of their stuff, I would love to take it from you, preferably without payment.
