Podcast Episode Summary
Sun Electric – Sarotti
I haven’t posted for ages – been ridiculously busy, but am beginning to see light at the end of the tunnel now, so I have been scouring emusic for some long-lost R&S classics and was very pleased to find this.
Sun Electric were a duo from Berlin (Tom Thiel and Max Loderbauer) who became friends with The Orb and Thomas Fehlmann after releasing a 12” single called “O’Locco” in 1990. That particular track has since gone on to about 200 different remix versions. The track featured here – “Sarotti” – is from their 1993 LP release Sun Electric (sometimes known as Natural Energy) on R&S Records , which Alboy had (along with just about every other ambient techno LP released that year and a good deal of non-ambient ones too.)
At least I think this release was an album – it may have been a double 12” single. At any rate it was album-length (about 45 minutes).
Due to my very poor tape-labelling skills I got somehow mixed up for many years thinking that this track was “O’Locco” and then got v confused when I used to pick up remixes of “O’Locco” on the net and they sounded nothing like this. (Most of them didn’t sound that much like each other either, so you can understand why I was confused…)
But whatever it’s called it’s a classic. 6 minutes 21 but it could have gone on for a whole LP side and not outstayed its welcome. Beautiful.
