Reviews
Edited one year agoreferencing Automat (LP, Album) 3C 064-18323
For fans of fellow Italians Chrisma (2) (with Vangelis' brother Niko Papathanassiou producing in Vangelis' London studio), French duos Universal Energy, Space, Space Art (2), Droids, French trio Quartz (5) and even French quartet Hot Butter and early Cerrone et al...I don't have to mention Hot Chocolate - Put Your Love In Me (1977) or "Hansjörg" Giorgio Moroder's solo albums 1975-79, do I?!?
For more on this, check out the 2 samplers Various - Cosmic Machine - A Voyage Across French Cosmic & Electronic Avantgarde (1970-1980) and its more experimental followup,Various - Cosmic Machine The Sequel - A Voyage Across French Cosmic & Electronic Avantgarde (70s-80s).- Needle drop release. Can clearly hear the scratch on the recording. You better stick with the 2003 russian bootleg, although also taken from a vinyl, it sounds clearer.

The TD002 version comes with inlay in Italian and in English.

Droid always sounded very "Vangelis - Pulsar" ... Anyway , a great record and very ahead of his time.referencing Automat (LP, Album, Stereo) 31C 064 18323
Does anyone else have the Brazilian pressing from 1978? My copy looks NM, but plays with obvious groove distortion. I suspect it's groove wear from a damaged stylus, but maybe this was a poor pressing to begin with?

Yes I cant understand why there is no official CD release for this great album !!! Only Bootlegs that cost you an arm and a legreferencing Automat (LP, Album, Reissue) TD002

Side A and B1 are the stars/famous songs, but i recently re-discovered the MASTERPIECE "Mecadence". Obscure, infinity, emotional, like a unforgettable electronic should be.- Edited 4 years ago
referencing Automat (LP, Album, Reissue) TD002
Absolutely fantastic example of early electronic music. Is there a CD version of this 2019 reissue? referencing Automat (LP, Album) EMI 6926
GREAT combination of strange, romance and mystery electronic music, in my life I have never heard electronic synth music like this! it's special and advance,
I like it too much.
