Gotan Project in Lausanne, September 2, 2011
Great performances. Small venue (Theatre d’Octagonal in Pully). No warmup band. The music started 5 minutes after the stated time – they are in Switzerland afterall. Played from Lunatico: “Diferente” – the backdrop came from Diferente music video (see youtube video below). This is the official video for Diferente on Youtube. Gotta love Argentine tango.…

Classic Electronics: Force Majeure – Tangerine Dream (1979)

Their first few albums in the early 70’s are somewhat unlistenable as they are mostly long pieces of electronic noises which sounded futuristic at the time.…
