Clara Mondshine – Luna Africana – LP

Fifth Dimension

Clara Mondshine was a musical project of the late radio director, journalist, and composer Walter Bachauer, who worked for RIAS Berlin in the ’70s and ’80s. Mr. Bachauer was also involved as musician in projects with electronic artist Peter Michael Hamel and krautrock act Between in the ’70s.

“Luna Africana”, originally released in 1981, is  a typical example for later krautish electronics and certainly a must-have for fans of the Eno/Harmonia collaborations, Cluster’s Zuckerzeit, and other similar motorik electronic albums. It also has a Kraftwerk feel, but without the vocals. Now this long-hidden secret gem is reissued for the first time and unveiled for your stellar listening pleasure. But beware; some of you might get lost in the depths of outer space.
