My favourite (semi) electronic album of the last couple of years.
I don’t usually like these crossover type projects, but Hecker re-worked some recordings he made with a Japanese gagaku ensemble, adding some more synths and electronics to them, and created something truly beautiful.
I’ve got probably close to 40 years of electronic music stored in my brain, for someone getting into it now it’s nigh on impossible to go back on everything and to remember everything, so much amazing music, but going through the artists on this thread is a good start and would take you months and months
“Chiral”'s one track. It’s on the album “Glyphic”. Maybe there was an e.p. too, but I tend to collect LPs. Fabulous stuff. The third one “Arecebo Message” is quite ravey, and his releases since have slowed somewhat and leaned more on four to the floor than the earlier ones. Still good and very interesting, but hadn’t held my attention as much.

I have a vivid memory of a school trip to Prague in 93’ where some lads from another school had taken over the hotel d.j. Booth and we’re cranking out these nosebleed compilations, they did a grand job of clearing the bar area but inspired me to go out and buy some “Frankfurt Hardnoise”.
My classmates insisted I keep a distance whilst playing it on my Aiwa speakers…
