Siriusmo - Liu reminded me of the epic Freezone series (Crammed Disc, 1995 - 2001), featuring many great examples of electronica, nu-jazz and ambient artists/tracks of the era.
- Freezone 1 : The Phenomenology Of Ambient
- Freezone 2 : Variations On A Chill
- Freezone 3 : Horizontal Dancing
- Freezone 4 - Dangerous Lullabies
- Freezone 5 : The Radio Is Teaching My Goldfish Ju Jitsu
- Freezone 6 : Fourth Person Singular
- Freezone 7 : Seven Is Seven Is
Chateau Flight - Camping Jazz
from Freezone 6 : Fourth Person Singular
Yes, I had the first volume of the Freezone compilations! The disc broke eventually… it was a good time, between this and the nujazz sample madness of other artists. The Chateau Flight track is great.
Another blast from the past:
Electronic System - Skylab - 1974
From the album Tchip-Tchip (Vol. 3) (1974)
A 14 minute long early Chill Out / Downtempo track from Belgium, featuring Belgian synthesizer/electronic music pioneer Dan Lacksman (Daniel Pierre Lanckmans) on the Moog Modular III.
The same year as Kool & The Gang - Summer Madness (1974)
No doubt inspired the AIR - Moon Safari (1998) vibe…some decades later…
Some background on Dan Lacksman: The Electronic System Man - Synth and Software
Most famous: his contributions to a (Belgian) megahit: Patrick Hernandez - Born To Be Alive (1979)
Roland model 104 sequencer ‘Born to be alive composer Dan Lacksman Telex’
Yes, in French…and many years after the fact…
La fabrication de Moscow Diskow (Telex)
Yes, in French…Dan Lacksman, in the studio, in the seventies:

Not heard this for quite a while.
Thank you
This is great - I watched the live one that came up in my feed afterwards - I must hear more of this
and we know who knew the other guitar player
