Bruno Spoerri – Iischalte (Switched-on Switzerland)

Mixed by Günter Zipelius (not Zibelius) - thank you for correction.

One more album in the spirit of "Switched on.." tastelessnesses. OK, Switzerland had to express it's presence in the electronic field but in the most possibile horribile musical genre: sramli what is the kitchiest kind of music ever. The electronic sonic timbres are rudimentary and shows nothing from the possibility of even, say a single Minimoog, not mentioning the EMS modular. Technically the record is advanced: it seems to be super-automatised and synchronized what was nearly only possibile on the EMS-modular sequencer maybe but that won't help judging it all a next to horrible. With this technocracy Spoerri should make individual electronic album. The cover is very good, the music is 2 of 5.

I'm just back from a Bruno Spoerri gig in Dublin (his first time there i believe) and it was jaw-droppingly good. Innovative, contemporary and technically sublime. And he was selling copies of this album for a tenner (i'm listening to it as i type.) Go see him. What a pioneer in electronic music and a bona fide legend.
