Das erste Release ist direkt ein Paukenschlag.
Mit "Maskindans" (Maschinentanz) erscheint ein nahezu vollständiges Kompendium norwegischer Minimalelektronik und vergleichbarer Musik.
Das Label dazu :
Tracks from Tromsø up North to Arendal in the South, tracks recorded as early as 1980 and up to 1988, tracks shorter than two minutes and longer than six, spanning dark wave, avant garde, synth pop and most genres in between; songs that were hits on Norwegian radio and songs that have been totally obscure for 20 years or more. Maskindans is an impressively broad and thorough presentation of the finest Norwegian '80s electronics.

We're sorry you can't have this package as a christmas gift, but we have every confidence that listeners will love this release from January and well into the future.
Am Montag abend ab 22 Uhr gibt es bei Radio Neurobeat im Rahmen der Weird Science ein spontanes Special, das sich ganz dieser Compilation widmen wird. 90 Minuten lang ausgesuchte Stücke dürften jeden Minimalelektronikfreund überzeugen.
Die Scheibe ist ein Pflichtkauf !
Bis heute abend
