Holger Hiller – Holger Hiller [7''] (1980, Warning Records)

 

Electronic experimentalist Holger Hiller departed from the band Palais Schaumburg in the early '80s and embarked on a solo career. 1983's 'Ein Bündel Fäulnis In Der Grube' established his basic approach of combining keyboard lines with assorted odd sounds, and tense, clattering percussion. 1986's 'Oben im Eck' featured Hiller exploiting new sampling technology to its fullest behind a band including vocalists Billy McKenzie and Kaori Kano, and keyboardist Izumi Kobayashi. After laying low for quite some time, save occasional mixing and editing work for artists like Depeche Mode, Hiller returned with a vengeance in the mid-'90s, issuing 'Little Present' in 1993 and following it with the 'Demixed' collection. A self-titled release followed in fall 2000. This single from 1980 is also sometimes referred to as 'Herzmuskel; an excellent electronic experimental pop recommended for fans of Tuxedomoon and Renaldo & the Loaf type stuff; favorite, "R In S/W", almost a perfect closing track [SOURCE: ALLMUSIC]
