Tropisch Verlangen

Resurrecting the 1980s cassette output of the obscure Dutch producer, this compilation explores a heavily synthesized vision of Indonesian and Southeast Asian folk music. Inspired by his travels, the artist utilized early drum machines, minimal wave synthesis, and microtonal scales to craft a strangely beautiful, deeply artificial form of tribal ambient music. It is highly regarded as a unique entry in the 1980s DIY cassette underground.
