Sonic Boom (Pete Kember) does Kraftwerk’s Hall of Mirrors.

via spacemetalizer:

Here he is! Finally, after many years, I got a chance to see the great Pete Kember (aka Sonic Boom, formerly of Spacemen 3)… I filmed this at the Toronto record store Sonic Boom, in their basement where he did a 3 song set- February 4, 2008.

The tune is ‘Hall of Mirrors’ by Kraftwerk.

They don’t make music videos like this anymore – if they ever did.

This video pairs Les Baxter’s version of Bach’s Prelude # 1 in C, from the Album Moog Rock, with a clip from the German TV show PARIS AKTUELL from 1967.

Anybody else think it’s time for these styles to come back?

Sunday Synth Jam: Here’s another nice synth jam via mik300z, a cover of Vangelis’ We Were All Uprooted, From Earth:

A piece from Vangelis’ first solo album Earth.

Thanks to a certain youtuber (cheers Phil) who sent me the album at the beginning of the summer, It just grows on you, the unique unworldly atmospherics of organ and percussion.

Hope you like the video, tried to keep everything like 1974!
