{"product_id":"sula-bassana-casio-royale","title":"SULA BASSANA - Casio Royale","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne of the labels’ final two full lengths and it’s a more than welcome return from Dave Schmidt’s wonderful SULA BASSANA, with an absolutely incredible full length, of primarily keyboard based psych, krautrock and motorik grooves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDave himself says it best: “It is nerdy, weird, experimental, psychedelic and groovy. Let's call it elektrokraut! And it's kind of a soundtrack for your inner movie. Lean back, relax and enjoy, or dance, or just space out!”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile his label in Germany, Sulatron says:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Casio Royale” is Dave Schmidt's tongue-in-cheek masterpiece. A complete album recorded exclusively with an armada of vintage Casio home keyboards from the early eighties. The Casiotone 403, SK 1, SK 60, MT 400v and MT 70 are instruments that at one time sat under Christmas trees and turned the children's rooms of the world into small cosmic space stations. Sula Bassana knows what slumbers within these small plastic cases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat results is far removed from nostalgic kitsch. The pastel tonal colors of the Casios become the building blocks of an intricate, cosmic sound universe. Somewhere between Krautrock, ambient and the soundtrack to an agent adventure film that was never made. Acting as a secret agent in the background is the Yamaha VSS-200, a sampler from the same era that lends the soundscape an additional, slightly destabilizing layer. Appearing as guests are the Roland VP 330, the SBF-325, and the Korg SDD-1000, all accomplices in a sonic conspiracy for which an entire arsenal of effect pedals serves as a cover.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComposed, recorded, produced and mixed by Sula Bassana. Mastered by the legendary Eroc.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA spellbinding, cosmic trip of a record, released in an edition of 120 copies only for the UK.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"FERAL CHILD","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl LP","offer_id":55042541814083,"sku":"RPT-37244","price":21.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0821\/1601\/8499\/files\/FOR_20261112_1548_154928_100_p_8f067ae7-30f4-d214-06ee-6afa05eaefef_2_001.jpg?v=1794499105","url":"https:\/\/www.recordplant.co.uk\/products\/sula-bassana-casio-royale","provider":"Record Plant","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
