Yes, with all of your helps to discover alternative to Karajan whichI know too well and I need now to explore in other directions.

Music is art so it bounds to be varying opinions.

I've a lot to gain from someone who has been exposed to wider selection of music than me. I found it's good to know a listener's bias after a while I familiarise myself with what they are actually listening for/to.

Jellyfish ~ Spilt Milk (1993)

Recommended on here at the weekend by Gary and Denis, this CD arrived this morning. Totally passed me by back in the day, its a delightful wee (power pop) gem. Better to have been led to it late than never have found at all, thanks chaps.

20th Anniversary Edition, on vinyl...

Benge - Forms 2 Earthmoves

This is 35 minutes of plangent, tuney electronic music, This, like all of his Bandcamp stuff is "Name your price" so it's free if you so choose. I really like his stuff, though not all of it is as accessible as this - he is fond of experimenting with his array of synths, but mainly his Buchla 200 (I'm very partial to the unique sound of a Buchla - going back to Motron Subotnik way back when).

Anyway this is the first track

And this the Bandcamp url

If this does hit the spot then try Loops Series 2 by him.

I have Meme Tunes and I Am 9 and they are quite good records.

ARC ~ Church (2010)

Downloaded today this is a great piece of Electronica in Berlin school style. Very atmospheric, it is perhaps what Tangerine Dream's sound should have evolved into...

The band. I reckon they (well Shreeve) and Radio Massacre International are the torch bearers for Berlin these days. Though keeping up with RMI is hard work (I'm over 50 albums but still don't have the lot!).

Atomhead~ Logic Gate (2014)

More electronic goodness.

"Despite the frenetic rhythms and eye-watering bpm Atomhead creates rich ambiences and a sense of space which at once both cathartically bludgeon and cleanse."

At over 50 albums by RMI that is some dedication Nick...when do they find time to sleep? If you haven't tried the ARC ~ Church live album (above) give it a listen, I'm sure you will like it. I do know Redshift but haven't listened for quite a while I will have to rectify that.
