Synth-y excellence from American composer David Van Tieghem. A deeply layered, lush-yet-mechanical sound composed of drum machines, chiming guitars, and lots and lots of synthesizer/keyboard. Probably sounded hella futuristic when it came out, and still sounds way fucking cool today.

Love this album! Especially "Skeleton Key." I agree, it stands up 30 years later, probably why he got tapped for that FRKWYS series.
ReplyDeleteLovely album and devilish synth mastery that takes you to another world.
ReplyDeleteI hope you'll talk about the next album from 1989.
Strange Cargo, I remember a song called Yesterday Islands which was amazing! Keep up the good job
Thanks a lot!
