Atom Heart – Orange & Softcore

Our personal jury is still out on the copious swathe of releases from Uwe Schmidt (OK, so Señor Coconut was pretty cute the first few times we played him and Lassigue Bendthaus were rather crunchy), probably because he does spread his talents so very far and wide across almost as many pseudonyms as Marc Acardipane, but we do like these discs’ spiky minimalism. Released by Fax, so they are caught up in the whole collector mania thing and worth a packet, they were issued in one-off editions of 500 and 1000 copies respectively.
