SZAJNER BERNARD - VINYL SOME DEATHS TAKE FOREVER [VINYL]

Popis - SOME DEATHS TAKE FOREVER [VINYL]:
Recording an album about the feelings of two prisoners waiting on death row. As a statement against capital punishment. It was (and even still is nowadays) a delicate and ambitious plan. Bernard Szajner did it, in 1980, after watching an Amnesty International documentary. When listening to this reissue of 'Some Deaths Take Forever' it's hard to believe it was recorded already four decades earlier: the melancholic piano theme and the metallic synth riffs of opener 'Welcome To Death Row' set the tone for a mind blowing audio journey which at one moment echoes the vibe of early '80s gloom funk and derailed krautrock drenching into pulsating proto Detroit techno and on the other hand sounds like the blueprint for a futuristic electronic music scene in the years to come.
