Serge Blenner - Babylone

Artist: Agitation Free
P: 1974 / 2002
This is one of those albums that works well as a background, or you can get stuff from listening intently. Some people may find it a drawback that the overall sound is not demanding at all to listen to, and consequently makes good incidental or background music.
It is not Agitation Free playing space music, but gentle, pleasant, fusion-jazz/new age. In particular the first two tracks on the album stand out ... "Atlantic Overcrossing" is a wonderful song with pub-rock overtones (think Ace/Paul Carrack) -- one of those pieces you may remember from the 70's that you heard somewhere but can't identify where you actually heard it.
"Abulafia" is a nice gentle sax tune that is pleasant and hummable but oddly defiant in its complexity. Both make the record worth owning. One of the most striking things about the entire record is that it *sounds* very 80's in approach (this is the sort of prog rock you'd hear on cable stations at the time as background music) but was allegedly recorded in 1974 and 1975.
Recorded between 1974-75 at ERD Studio and Audio Studio, Berlin , Germany

It is Polish young film maker, Kinga Kielczynska, turn to project the mythical work of German guitarist on screen with images.
Recorded within the Filmfestival Era New Horizons in Wroclaw, Poland in 2006, Wroclaw Live is the fusion of the timeless loops of the MG music to the very eclectic images of Kinga Kielczynska.

Inspired by the comic novel Trigan, this music has sometimes soundtrack feeling, with the combination between old and modern synthesizers. Complex arrangements and a melodic touch. Nice.
