COSMIC HOFFMANN: "OUTERSPACE GEMS" Manikin Records 2008 "Outerspace Gems" is a beautiful compilation of musical relics from 1978-1985 that no doubt will delight the followers of this composer and of the analogue Space Music. As suggested by its title, this album is an impressive space odyssey based on the use of analogue synthesizers and other vintage electronic equipment, ideal to let imagination soar through unearthly worlds. The instruments used here range from the Mellotron M 400 S to the Mini Moog, the ARP Odyssey or the Roland M 100 Modular System. EDGAR KOGLER http://www.manikin.de |
