Shelved at a micro-cosmic axis where Krautrock meets lesbian vampire Horrortica and easy listening meets psychedelia, the delayed reaction of this mutant concoction eventually exploded in the mid-1990s in the hands of a generation of ‘record diggers’ sending currency-crushing tremors through the wallets of mods, rockers, hip hoppers and psych nuts around the plastic-pillaging planet. The vinyl junkies had resurrected a monster but, like addicts do, they ravenously sucked it dry and moved on looking for the next fix to feed their habit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLuckily for some, Ackermann and Thusek were also creatures of habit. And it wouldn’t take a genius to figure out that they were holding the next dose, but by the turn of the millennium the mad scientists had been given a thirty-five-year head start on the pop archaeologists and their mythical sequel was literally light-years ahead of their previous draconian instalment. Encouragingly, the unclosed cabinet left a shiny white clue in the form of its closing track ‘Frankenstein Meets Alpha 7’.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Ackermann and Thusek duo were far from dynamic. They were undercover agents hiding behind user-friendly mock-rock monikers and, like most B-Musicians, the only way to sniff them out would be to read the small print. But when an unidentified record on an unknown label with a title like ‘Science Fiction Dance Party’ crops up in the Eins Deutschmark crates it’s not exactly rocket science - although the track titles might suggest otherwise. ‘The End Of A Robot’, ‘Monster On Saturn 1’, ‘Galactic Adventures Of The Outer Space Fleet’, ‘The Whistling Astronauts’, ‘Death Rays Out Of The Universe’... The tell-tale signs are all there and if that doesn’t clench the deal then what will?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEven rarer than its horror counterpart, this ultra-rare record regularly reaches sums in excess of €400 plus online.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Finders Keepers","offers":[{"title":"Black | LP","offer_id":50776383848779,"sku":"1147794","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/2ae6f997-d3e4-42e0-9837-1f478b63025b_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1730977893"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/collections\/the-science-fiction-corporation.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
