Descriptions:
When people talk about electronic music at the turn of the 1980s, the focus is usually on the artists and records that later became widely recognised. But between 1979 and 1982, much of the groundwork was being laid through more obscure and non-commercial releases.
This video is a personal selection of fifteen obscure electronic tracks from that formative period. Singles, album tracks, and early releases that existed outside commercial expectations, capturing a time when electronic music was still experimental, confrontational, and open-ended.
Rather than analysing the music, this film focuses on atmosphere and context, tracing a short but important moment at the foundations of electronic music, before styles became fixed and before wider recognition arrived.
