Redshift - RW2 (Redshift Wild 2). 1996-2002 England

Redshift's Wild series is their name for the band's archival material. Originally conceived as a CD-R only project (similar to country mates Radio Massacre International), they decided the material was worthy of factory CD status. And I agree. Wild 2 is an odds n' sods release of unreleased recordings made up from 1996 to 2002. Only Redshift could release a masterpiece made up of leftovers! The 2 early tracks from 1996 are brilliant 'Prime' (their first ever recording) and 'Heaven Is a Turquoise Avenger'. If you're looking for that thick Moog sound, with complex sequencing, mellotrons, and Edgar Froese styled psychedelic guitar, well then... here you go. I'm always looking for that! Redshift were (are?) the best of the Berlin School revivalists IMO.
