Three new releases on Strange Life Records to get you through the summer are out now!
Its a dark rainy morning in The Hague
F.Mavelli - Special Brigade CD (SLR030)
Florenza Mavelli's Special Brigade soundtrack first surfaced on the legendary CBS blog late 2007, only to fade into obscurity again after the old CBS's foreclosure. Now its back, remastered from vintage reel to reel tape, 14 tracks with lots of never before heard material on a CD album! The soundtrack of Special Brigade (aka Uomini Brigata Specialle) an obscure italian tv-series from yesteryear tells the story of an elite special goverment police unit formed to counter terrorism and organised crime. Ultra dramatic Italian cop soundtracks...
Mono-Poly - Atlantic Storm CD (SLR031)
Monopoly's second album after releasing the ZOND3 CD on the Japanese Doppelganger records in 2008. Think of the great rural ambient sounds of Brian Eno's On Land mixed with dark isolationist dronescapes from the 1980s. Using rare modular synthesizers such as ancient EMS synthi's, Buchla's, Serge's etc. Atlantic Storm is the perfect music for a cold rainy day on the outer hebrides' atlantic shores...and that is ofcourse, just the way we like it. Probably one of the most essential rural ambient albums on strange life records so far!
Comes in a DVD box with a Monopoly postcard.
Legowelt - Amiga Railroad Adventures CD (SLR032)
From the romantic days of Amiga computing cosyness come 16 fresh new Legowelt tracks in the style of Beyond the Congo and Venom 18. Music about golf courses in the Bermuda Triangle (oh no the ball went into a dimensional hole!), Night driving through 16 bit Amiga Pine Forests (Deluxe Paint sprites!), British railroad romantics (dedication to the trainspotters), Dr. Loomis' adventures in Haddonfield and much, much more! Made on the mighty Amiga 1200 running the Octamed sequencer, a TR808, a couple of Korg modulars and some old effects boxes.
