Peak, Australia ***REISSUED***


Peak - Ebondazzar. 1982 Cement (1983 Innovative Communications)

***Reissued by Round About Oct 2019

Here's an album I must have passed over 100 times in the used record bins, thinking it was some kind of New Wave album, that was somewhat typical of Klaus Schulze's Innovative Communications label. Then a friend of this site sent me the LP recently to check out.

Peak play in the style of "electronic rock", a place that Tangerine Dream visited with their Cyclone and Force Majeure albums. There are no vocals here (some samples), but for the most part this is driving sequencer based electronic with some wonderful electric guitar, and quite a bit of invention. 

Priority: 2

Nemo, France ***REISSUED***



Nemo. 1973 Agave
Doin' Nuthin'. 1974 Agave

***Both albums reissued by Musea Apr 2019

Nemo are a mix of funk, rock, jazz fusion. First album has more vocals and recalls to mind Santana in places (the best parts actually). 'Doin' Nuthin', their sophomore effort, is mainly instrumental. Good stuff overall and features Francois Breant, who later had some success as a solo artist. Both albums are similar in their eclectic style.
