Free download – Harald Grosskopf’s Synthesist

via xlr8r:

This vintage piece of sprawling electronic music comes from a forthcoming new version of German musician/composer/producer Harald Grosskopf’s classic debut album, Synthesist.

Originally released in 1980, the record is now being treated to a reissue from the RVNG label, complete with new artwork and remastered music—this title track is our first taste of that offering.

Grosskopf’s Italo-tinged song is warm with the glow of analog gear and tape, and is so melodically dense that sometimes it’s hard to catch exactly how many synths are working at any given moment.
