How f---ing cool is that?

  1. i've got his Hommage a Bartok on vinyl. *before* it was Creel Poned (always well chuffed when that happens, which it has a few times). A Bartok has a very unusual electronic sound, not like anything else i can think of really - maybe Martin Rev but even more static and freeze-framed. And the cover design is great, it's something Aztec emerging out of Central Europe.

    1. Wow, I had no idea that Schöffer did music! I see what you mean about the Rev comparison; it's also putting me in mind of Spacemen 3. Maybe a dash of This Heat. It's like the 8-bit cousin to those.
