Another childhood hero gone. While the Jam ruled the UK charts Klaus Schulze ruled my bedroom. RIP maestro
This one too, iirc it was the edit by Eric Duncan which made me listen again with fresh ears, slowed down to a chuggy danceable tempo, what an immense track. Like the best record Carlos Santana never made. A perfect example of the experimental nature of those Richard Wahnfried LPs and the era they were made. KS obviously had absolutely no idea what Baldelli et al we’re doing in Italy. Totally new territory being explored.
The edit:
And of course everyone and his dog knows this one now due to the countless edits, with Klaus Schulze’s contributions pretty much sidelined, but at that time in 1984 I bought it just because his name was on the sleeve, upon first listen totally dumbfounded when the disco bit came in. Most definitely the first record with any disco elements I ever bought, and pretty much throughout the 80s only ever played the other side as I just didn’t get the ‘disco’ bit. Fast forward to the sarcastic tape… funny old world isn’t it.

Apparently Kevin Keegan did the backing vocals on that. Proper 80s classic

I’m sometimes wondering what Hardy and Levan would play today if they would still be playing out. Would they incorporate new stuff in their sets and if so, which records would they play out?

my first ever 45 single was chariots of fire. dark brownish sleeve with nothing on it. hasn’t aged well but a lifelong fondness for orchestral/symphonic soundtracks began. I forgot about him for years until I think i heard someone play ‘let it happen’ somewhere in London and then Rick Hopkins playing some mad version of bladerunner at one of his parties at the Russian Bar and I got obsessed again.
