Fripp & Eno - (No Pussyfooting)

Download.

Here's a record I've been meaning to post for a few months and when I finally get around to it Mediafire decides to die for a day. Robert Fripp is basically King Crimson; Brian Eno is a legendary producer and a pioneer of ambient music after a failed venture in glam rock. Together they looped guitar riffs through tape machines to create what has come to be known as an early example of ambient music.

Highly recommended if you're a fan of Heldon, Klaus Schulze, early Tangerine Dream, etc.

Asmus Tietchens - In Die Nacht

Download.

"Tietchens is a German electronic musician who has pursued "absolute music" through an almost mathematical process of rigid formal exercises. With strong ties to Karlheinz Stockhausen's early electronic work, Tietchens specializes in irregular patterns of sonic abstractions that are suspended in gray drones to create cold textural voids from external references."

Bernard Szajner - Superficial Music

Download.

"Bernard Szajner worked as a visuals designer and lazer expert for Gong, Magma, and Klaus Schulze. His first venture into music-making, 1979's Visions of Dune was inspired by Frank Herbert’s s.f. epic and its swirling clouds of drone and unearthly melodies would have made for a much superior O/S/T for the ill-starred David Lynch movie than the dismal score by Toto. Superficial Music's first side consists of four tracks of ever-more formless wuthering made using the source tapes for Visions of Dune played backwards at half speed and then tweaked with effects; the second side is a triptych titled Oswiecim after the Polish word for Auschwitz (Sjazner's being a Polish Jewish family who managed to narrowly evade being deported to concentration camps) and lives up to its harrowing inspiration."

Conrad Schnitzler & Dompteur Mooner - Rare Tracks 1979 - 1982 Re-Edited

http://www.mediafire.com/?rhdczmnjz3e

Conrad Schnitzler is considered to be the keyfigure of electronic Avantgarde Music in Europe.
Schnitzler, Joseph Beuys first student, was member of Tangerine Dream and Kluster (who would later become "Cluster").
Many years ahead of his time, CON was revolutionary in many aspects: He predated Industrial Music, sounded like Kraftwerk and DAF before they did and makes music today at the age of 71.
