{"product_id":"oceanheart-2","title":"Oceanheart","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 1984, four years after the release of my first solo album \u003cem\u003eSYNTHESIST\u003c\/em\u003e on SKY Records, I wanted to produce a new solo album. At the time, I was operating on the fifth floor of a former backyard factory on Graefe-Str. in Berlin Kreuzberg with my Neue Deutsche Welle Band \u003cstrong\u003eLILLI BERLIN\u003c\/strong\u003e. We'd turned the space into a small music and rehearsal studio where we set up a TASCAM 8-track tape recorder, a 12-channel MM mixer that roared like hell, a Mini-Moog, and a ROLAND Jupiter-6 synthesizer. This is where the basic recordings for \u003cem\u003eOCEANHEART\u003c\/em\u003e were made. Essentially sequences and chords, which I then added piano, drums, Indian tablas, and solo voices to in Christoph Franke's (Tangerine Dream) studio in Berlin Spandau. It was then mastered on a BETAMAX video recorder - at that time the non-plus-ultra of modern stereo recording technique. \u003cem\u003eOceanheart\u003c\/em\u003e was released on SKY Records in 1985.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt the beginning of 2022, Gunther Buskies, owner of BUREAU B label, had the inspired idea to expand the planned re-release of \u003cem\u003eOCEANHEART\u003c\/em\u003e with a remix album on double vinyl and CD and to call it \u003cem\u003eOCEANHEART REVISITED\u003c\/em\u003e. Around the same time, I met Tobias Stock through my friend Chris Mick. Tobias, a qualified electronics engineer and musician, had put together a complex, top-class analog studio over 20 years of meticulous and passionate collecting - bringing each of the numerous component parts back into the best technical state with his own hands. There are only a few studios of this kind and quality in the world, and it was here, in his 'On TAPE' Studio, we created the analogue mixes of \u003cem\u003eOCEANHEART REVISITED\u003c\/em\u003e on a NAGRA 2-channel tape machine. I really enjoyed working on \u003cem\u003eOCEANHEART REVISITED\u003c\/em\u003e and I'd like to share this experiment with you.\" Harald Grosskopf, January 2023.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTracklist LP1\u003cbr\u003e\n01. \"Eve On The Hill\"\u003cbr\u003e\n02. \"While I'm Walking\"\u003cbr\u003e\n03. \"Oceanheart\"\u003cbr\u003e\n04. \"Coming Out\"\u003cbr\u003e\n05. \"Pondicherry Dream\"\u003cbr\u003e\n06. \"Minimal Boogie\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTracklist LP2\u003cbr\u003e\n01. \"Eve On The Hill (Ocean Revisited)\"\u003cbr\u003e\n02. \"While I'm Walking (Ocean Revisited)\"\u003cbr\u003e\n03. \"Oceanheart (Ocean Revisited)\"\u003cbr\u003e\n04. \"Coming Out (Ocean Revisited)\"\u003cbr\u003e\n05. \"Pondicherry Dream (Ocean Revisited)\"\u003cbr\u003e\n06. \"Minimal Boogie (Ocean Revisited)\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bureau B","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50383962079563,"sku":"2013256","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"LP","offer_id":50383962210635,"sku":"2013262","price":42.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_66e58167_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726280631","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/oceanheart-2","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
