Music inspired by and sampling Atari

[Nostalgic]

While in downtown Ann Arbor yesterday, I took a swing into Wazoo, a used music store.

 

I sifted through a few sections, including electronica. I stumbled upon something that I just had to gamble on.

 

Given that Kraftwerk is my favorite band and that I am an Atari fan, I could not resist a CD cover with the middle and right bars of the Atari Fuji as a logo and the title "Das Nonstop-Programm."

 

It was only $8, so I gave it a try. Though made in 2003, it turns out to be very early 80's electro, though I could swear there's a couple of Atari-like sounds in there - including samples from Yar's Revenge!

 

The name of the group is "1L" - look at the Fuji with the left bar missing and you'll get it.

 

The music label is RES FREq - you can check them out at http://www.res-freq.com/.

 

P.S. Sad realization - I picked it up used at Wazoo for more than cover price.

 

P.P.S. The track "analyze & duplicate" is the one with Yar samples, but there isn't a listenable version on the web site.

LimeWire/KaZaA anyone?
