Melody. 1981 Tonstudio Bieber
Double Vision. 1984 TSB
This came as a big surprise, as most of these small German presses from the early 80s are best left alone. And with a moniker like Ocean, a band name that must have been used 269 times by then, the word "generic" couldn't slip my mind. Until I put the disc on that is. If you're looking for references, Symphonic Pictures era SFF isn't a bad place to start. It's not quite in that league, but it's not like the world is filled with similar albums to SFF's debut. Plenty of mellotron (including the much loved choir). Maybe Odyssee's White Swan is another good check point. On the same label as Nanu Urwerk.

I have not heard Double Vision to date.
