Late 1970s electronica from the Soviet Union / Estonia: four years after prog rock band Mess disbanded, Estonian musician Sven Grünberg released a remarkable album entitled “Hingus” in 1981. The 23 minute title track invites us into a fascinating, futuristic world of sound, laced with Far Eastern tonality, embellished with a church organ, extremely rare synthesizers and extraordinary percussion effects. The other two tracks, no less superb, are more in the stylistic tradition of the Berliner Schule / Berlin School (Klaus Schulze, Tangerine Dream). Out October 21, 2016 (CD/vinyl/digital)
