Bauhaus Bela Lugosi's Dead

It's stronger than me, I can't help but immediately associate this piece with the opening scenes of The Hunger (Miriam Si Sveglia A Mezzanotte) with Bowie and Deneuve hunting for fresh blood in a New York nightclub...

The new album "La Malavita" should have just been released: has anyone listened to it?

Oh right, yes, I remember trying to download "Zuckerzeit," but I ran into difficulties with all the clusters...

I knew that Cluster (or Kluster?) was interesting, especially the second one, before they moved towards something close to ambient. However, the absolute giants in the entire German electronic scene of the early 70s, and not just that, in my opinion, remain AMON DUUL2; immense not only the first three, but also Carnival in Babylon, Wolf City, and Vive la Trance!

Yes, in fact we think the same thing, with different conclusions. I'm seduced by the unshakeable 4/4 of Kraftwerk from Autobahn onward, and the various (or similar) derivatives in the pop realm, from Soft Cell to the French AIR... L.A. Dusseldorf was set up by Dinger; a bit less percussive than Neu (especially the second, vive), closer to the imminent new wave and the stuff that Bowie and Eno were contemporaneously doing (not exactly your genre, right?). Aphex Twin? I've only listened to him a little, I remember some beautiful videos, but he never really got to me. Can you recommend something?

Hi Caz! It's been a while since we last met! Do you think KRFTWRK did it all? It depends on the angle from which you look at the story: if you think about electronics used rhythmically (and that's the direction the "genre" has taken in recent decades, although I think of POP and maybe you think of something else...) it's hard not to trace everything back to Ralf and Florian. As for Neu, I have nothing to say, since I've reviewed them too, but lately, when I think of them, I prefer to listen to L.A. Dusseldorf, from which I've downloaded the first self-titled album and VIVA (mediocre vinyl copies, I don't know if they've been reissued recently).

Personally, I tend to lean more towards the "what else"... Perhaps it's because I listened to this album for the first time after all those that came later, and it was preceded by a reputation of being a "masterpiece-underground-for-few"; I expected so much that I was left disappointed. Not that it's not interesting, it's just that it reaffirms once again that the real stroke of genius will happen the following year with AUTOBAHN.

What is this book by Amos Tutuola about? I have no clue!!! :-)

;-) there’s no mystery, because in the album title (just like in the book by Amos Tutuola that Eno and Byrne were inspired by) it says "THE"... I raised the issue solely because if you do the search, the receipt only comes up if you type "A"...
