Colors Of Silence
Synth pioneer and musical polymath, Wally Badarou is a genius. But you know that already. A vinyl version of his majestic Colors Of Silence has been craved by the Balearic cognoscenti ever since its low-key 2001 release. Indeed, when we first started work on Be With, we asked some pals with exquisite taste what their dream release would be. We asked Balearic legend Moonboots and, without hesitation, he said Colors Of Silence by Wally Badarou. We didn't know Wally had made this album. And most st…

Superman
* 2022 restock, killer price. Last copies * 1983, in the history of synths, is a key year. During the January edition of Namn (the most important music fair in the US), indeed, Miid – the standard protocol for electronic instruments interaction – was introduced to the world.
