Label: Marlboro

Year: 1989

Condition: NM/VG+

What the hell did the people at Marlboro (yes the stupid cowboy ciggies) think when they teamed up with Virgin to establish a label and sign someone so gentle and esoteric like Andreas von Wangenheim? Change the whole cowboy image by releasing New Age music??

Whatever they thought - it's just fantastic that they released these wonderful songs. Calling it All killer, no filler doesn't really fit the New Age vibe, huh? But hey it's Marlboro :)  and it's shotgun recommended! And you might know a track from my Dezember mix for testpressing

Probably Becker's most sought after album atm. Trippy ambient guitar with minimal percussion by Micky Meuser. Here's No. 147 / 500 of the original numbered edition. Not the recent "Amsterdam" edition. If you dig this check out Anna - Ein Neuer Mensch of which I still have a handful left (hidden somewhere in the ambient section).

"Setting up camp where the Swan River meets the Indian Ocean, Wilson and Tanner tuned into nature, translating the warm sun, sea air and blue sky into a postcard from paradise. Lithe clarinet dances around tranquil piano, relaxed guitar decorates velvet synth textures and unhurried percussion makes an occasional appearance, as if to remind us that time’s still passing. Employing an innovative alfresco recording technique, Andy and John invited members of the local animal community to join their jam sessions, saving a Blue Swimmer Crab from the flames of the barbecue and encouraging him to claw the ivories. Drop the needle and drift away on the distant ocean of “Pilot”, freefall into the soothing ambience of ‘Further Than Your Headlights’, and let “Sun Room” guide you gently back to terra firma. The dream team of Australian musicians (not to mention a very talented crustacean), come together on one vinyl – and it’s better than you could possibly imagine." Patrick Ryder
