Its tuesday again. guess what. time for that germanische post der woche.
this time back behind the iron curtain. the place where everybody had a job. and some people had to go to jail because for instance they listended to punk music (really the lightest sad episode out of many).
but not everything was bad. they had good music too.
too, you might ask. yeah. some times better than in the brd.
just three random tracks i like very much.

Music for Supermarkets

1983 entstand das seltenste Jarre-Album überhaupt – Music For Supermarkets . Als Reaktion auf die Kommerzialisierung der Musikszene nahm Jarre dieses Album auf, ließ genau eine LP pressen und diese dann am 6.Juli 1983im Hotel Drouot in Paris für 10.000 GBP versteigern. Das ganze Werk wurde einmal im französischsprachigen Radiosender RTLgespielt, anschließend wurden die Mastertapes vernichtet. Da Jarre damals seine Fans zum Mitschneiden der Übertragung aufrief (Pirate it!), kann man heute im Internet MP3-Versionen des Albums finden.
