Hello, Last week Current did a feature on Manuel Gottsching's seminal 1984 release e2-e4. After an inspiring tour as guitar player for Klaus Schulze , Gottsching recorded this album in one pass in his home studio on December 12th 1981. Shortly after completion, a tape was send to Klaus Schulze. Three years later Schulze decided to start his own independent record company, Inteam, and in 1984 e2-e4 was released for the world to hear. Although this recording is 21 years old it does not sound dated in the least. A work of inspired minimalism, this recording provided part of the conceptual basis for the work of modern producers such as Carl Craig and Moritz Von Oswald and Mark Ernestus of Basic Channel. The second hour of last weeks show was used to play this seminal recording in it's entirety.
Also, I would like to take this time to mention that Alan Oldham will be making an appearance on Current on 26th of January. Alan will be in the studio to discuss his new project "The Sexy Adventures Of Orietta St. Cloud". We will also be discussing the dance music industry, the state of Detroit Techno, international dj'ing, and life in general. Alan Oldham always has interesting and provocative thoughts about life and music. This interview will be both entertaining and informative, I hope you will join us on the 26th.
