Well, on this record you totally \u003cem\u003eCAN\u003c\/em\u003e judge the sound by the cover art. Composer \u003cstrong\u003eJoel Vandroogenbroeck\u003c\/strong\u003e (try saying that 5 times fast) dropped \u003cem\u003eBiomechanoid\u003c\/em\u003e in 1980, an album originally released by the fledgling \u003cstrong\u003eColoursound\u003c\/strong\u003e label to take advantage of the the \u003cem\u003eAlien\u003c\/em\u003e hype at the time. They even went so far as to commission artwork from \u003cstrong\u003eH.R. Giger\u003c\/strong\u003e (designer of the xenomorphs in \u003cem\u003eAlien\u003c\/em\u003e) for the cover! Vandroogenbroeck doesn't disappoint however, as he fully captures the essence of outer space through extended modular synth drones, bleak, cinematic soundscapes, and otherworldly percussion. This is some seriously heavy stuff, listen at maximum volume with the lights off for the full effect (and to make contact). Limited edition reissue with shiny silver cover. 11 tracks in all.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\u003cul\u003e\r\u003cli\u003elimited edition of 500\u003c\/li\u003e\r\u003cli\u003emusic label: Coloursound Library 1980 \/ Aguirre Records 2015\u003c\/li\u003e\r\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\u003ch6\u003ereviewed by TKB 05\/2015\u003c\/h6\u003e.","brand":"Joel Vandroogenbroeck","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl LP","offer_id":1306368116,"sku":"lp-6814","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/4542\/products\/biomechanoid-lp.jpg?v=1759262287","url":"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.sbs\/products\/joel-vandroogenbroeck-biomechanoid-180g-vinyl-lp","provider":"turntablelab.sbs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
