Here’s an excellent piece of dubbed out proto-techno from 1984 (and as it says on youtube: “the first known recording to feature a Roland TR808 and TB303 in their now classic guise”) from the great Chris Carter and Cosey Fanni Tutti heard one morning this week on a breakfast show on NTS while at work. There is so much going on in this tune!
And a few records later this extremely odd tune (with an apt video too) from Der Plan “Hey Baby Hop” was played also from that golden year of 1984. We’re not sure if it’s good or bad but who cares. Two records from the past we should have known about at the time.
