Jurgen Muller - Science of the Sea (1982)

When I tell you that your album is dominating my "Sleep" playlist, please take it as one of the  highest compliments. 

Early eighties ambient aquatically themed concept album. Bubbly, oceanic, regressive  submersion back into the womb which we came from.

Sweet Dreams

Bernard Fevre - The Strange World of Bernard Fevre (1975)

Pure Analog synths and drum machines ranging from 8bit sounding game music to Italo horror soundtracks to proto electronic dance music. Fevre goes by the moniker of Black Devil Disco Club these days.

NEW LINK

Mandre - Mandre (1977)

Afrocentric musical cosmology from the Motown label. Andre Lewis blends the funky seventies with cosmic synth tones creating baby making music for planets. 

Fun Fact: The first person to compose and perform under a futuristic persona that always wore a helmet.

Kinda like these guys:

CHECK

Umberto - Prophecy Of The Black Widow (2010)

New band alert! From Kansas City, Mo., we present to you Umberto. Yes, that album cover looks like a lot of those Dario Argento/Goblin productions from the early Seventies and yes, they sound just like that. These guys have no shame  and go for the gusto with evil washes of synth with a electronic lean. Highly recommended for fans of Goblin, Italo-horror cinephiles, and electro/synth rock.

MORTE

Gary Numan - Pleasure Principle (1979)

So, are Synths punk?

Let's find out

Turzi - B (2009)

Here's the second album from the enigmatic Frenchman Turzi. Mountains of synths amongst electronic pulses and suspenseful 70's Euro-thriller movie rock. His first album, A, is highly recommended as well, with more of a lean towards the electronic spectrum of music.

Rest In Bliss

Gayngs - Related (2010)

I usually try not to post current stuff. A.) To much red tape with Web Sheriffs and all that and B.) Most of these releases are already everywhere in the blogosphere and thus not possesing that "buried treasure" mojo to them but I'm making a exception this time for Gayngs. This is some smooth shit. Sexy. Their cover of 10cc spin-off Godley and Creme's "Cry" is awesome as well. If you dig slow jams, have a guilty pleasure for yacht rock or looking for bedroom music, check this out. They've somehow made a soprano sax and fretless bass tolerable in modern music again. And now I hear Prince digs these dudes. I'll say no more.

Get it before I have to remove this link

Suicide - Suicide (1977)

Here's another classic "rock" record that forever changed my musical scope. Suicide rules. They claim they recorded this in 4 hours. Now that's punk. Even though the were never received until much later in their career because of a.) their sound and b.) their oh so weird live performances (look below) Suicide will forever be regarded as pioneers for so many genres and various art mediums.

Fun fact: "The Boss" himself encored with his rendition of "Dream Baby Dream" during his "Devils and Dust" solo tour in 2005.
