Electronic Sound | Issue 131
We are venturing out of our concrete bunker to explore the strange and unsettling world of COLD WAR ELECTRONICA for this month's Electronic Sound cover story. Tin hats are recommended for this one.
Our cover story consists of 10 connected pieces detailing how the nuclear age rewired our ears. We look at pioneering artists such as KARLHEINZ STOCKHAUSEN and DANIEL MILLER in the West and GEORG KATZER and RODION ROSCA behind the Iron Curtain, while MARK REEDER lifts the lid on East Berlin's deeply underground "walled in" scene. We select some of the biggest Cold War hits too, with Paul Rutherford talking about FRANKIE GOES TO HOLLYWOOD's 'Two Tribes', Midge Ure remembering ULTRAVOX's 'Dancing With Tears In My Eyes', and Martyn Ware on HEAVEN 17's 'Let's All Make A Bomb'. Plus 'When The Wind Blows', 'Threads', the crazy tale of Radiophonic legend ROGER LIMB's role in the UK government's Protect And Survive campaign, and a whole lot more.
