Colors of the Sun

Anyone for Californian Cosmic Krautrock Disco? Spanning Neu-like motorik grooves, sunny disco moves, epic ambient journeys that rival Vangelis or Klaus Schulze for sheer electronic depth, and downtempo funk head-nodders with Kraftwerk keyboards, Colors of the Sun is a such a perfect summer album that it makes every day seem like summer. It is the sound of a cruise through sun-drenched landscapes, along crystalline coastlines from the Autobahn to the Pacific Coast Highway. Inspired by dashboard cassette players playing the perfect song at the perfect time, Hatchback creates soundtracks for the film unfolding through your windshield. An array of vintage synthesizers, analog drum machines, and the venerable Fender Rhodes electric piano create classic sounds with a modern twist. If Dennis Wilson was still alive, he'd be making music like this.
