I suppose you are referring to the imminent release of Stakker's
"Eurotechno" soundtrack on RePHLeX?
It's the soundtrack to still one of the best techno videos I've ever
seen. Done in the late 1980s-early 1990s, with everything the video
mixer/video effects processor du jour at that time, the Fairlight CVI
could give out and an original soundtrack by Brian Dougans. There's a
better story backgrounder at
http://www.rephlex.com/2001releases/cat129/cat129cd.html .
I have to urge everyone to pick up this release when it's out, the
soundtrack is just superb, although when separated from the visuals of the
video (which is quite trance-inducing and, I gather, a source of seizures
to those with epileptic tendencies), not as powerful.
All this is leading up to just one thing - back in the days when I was
starting to collect records and playing at parties (well over a decade
ago), I got my hands on an original copy of the Stakker: Eurotechno video.
The first time I saw the video I instantly knew that this was something I
should never let go of. During the years, I've amazed friends every now
and then with the video and it's soundtrack, and it is still as fresh and
enticing as when I first saw it. I really don't know what it's worth, and
I don't want to know - it'll have to pried from my cold, dead,
handcuffed-behind-my-back hands. And before any of you get yourself in a
knot over this - NO. I'm not making copies. Not one. Don't ask, whine
or plead, it'll go straight to the bin.
But do get the soundtrack when it's out.
