Rainbow Serpent - Futuregate. 1995 Germany

Rainbow Serpent are one of a handful of Berlin School revivalists from the Fatherland. They're a duo who have an arsenal of keyboards at their disposal. Mostly newer toys, not so much a vintage collection. Their blueprint for Futuregate can be found on Tangerine Dream's Tangram, and this album could represents outtakes from that session. There are worse ideas than following Tangerine Dream at the beginning of Schmoelling's career.

Personal Collection
CD: 1995 Ardema

The cover looks like some cheap home computer printout, and one would expect this to be a CD-R. But it's a factory cut CD, and the booklet is made of the proper stock. I bought this CD many years ago. Apparently there are two labels for this release - one red, one green. Mine is the former.

Last listen: February 1, 2019
