1979-82 Synthwave

LA MAIN - Goodbye Horses- Cover -Q - Lazarrus

Minimal Wave is proud to present a reissue of the seminal first album from Swiss Wavers, Guyer’s Connection. Tibor Csébits and Philippe Alioth formed Guyer’‘s Connection in Basel, Switzerland when they were only 14 and 15 years old. At the time they were in a new wave rock band called “Kurtzschluss” which they decided to break from in order to make purely electronic music. They began with two synthesizers, a drum machine, a 4-track tape recorder and a multitude of ideas. They channeled their unique and humorous vision into their first album, entitled Portrait which they produced themselves and self-released in 1983. Over the years, the album became a highly sought after minimal synth cult classic. It stands alone as one of the strongest examples of Swiss Minimal Wave, and probably the only one that is in Baseldytsch. The Portrait reissue is presented in a high quality gloss sleeve, with artwork to match their original sleeve design from 1983. The record features newly remastered audio pressed on 180 gram black vinyl, as a hand-numbered edition of 999. Release date: September 16th, 2014.

FINALLY the time has come to re-release the first ever recordings by Belgian minimal synth masters Twilight Ritual. Released in 1982 in a tiny cassette edition this album has not been heard by many people. “The Ritual" includes some of their best work, from mysterious dark synthpopsongs (Elegy) to club music (Webb-men) and the epic 14-minute track (Up To Now).

Twilight Ritual was/is the main project by Geert Coppens and Peter Bonne. During the early eighties they were involved in many other bands including Autumn and Linear Movement (both re-released on Minimal Wave), but Twilight Ritual is by far the most inspired project. The spirit of the band lingers on beneath the work of Autumn through A Split Second and stands besides the best tracks of bands such as Oppenheimer Analysis and League Of Nations.

01. Nilpferdmann - Parade
02. Nilpferdmann - Manege

“Boulevard” stands for encounter – a public space where individuality becomes an end in itself without rejecting the collective. Here, benevolent anonymity meets escapist connection. Between hustle and ease, Boulevard unfolds a vivid scene that elevates everyday life without seeking to escape it.

“Parade” places the collective experience at its core. While individuality remains intact, voices, movements, and colors merge to form a greater whole. The Parade passes by like a shimmering celebration through familiar terrain. It opens up space for positivity and togetherness.

“Manege” is a space of unbounded being – playful, colorful, and full of excitement. A place where the beautiful and the vibrant dance side by side. There is no center and no function – only movement and color. Relevance becomes secondary, and the individual turns into a figure in an open choreography.
