Dschinghis Khan, 1982: “Klabautermann (Na, Sowas!)”
Can any Germans explain what’s happening here? All I can tell is five people joyfully lip-synching in someone’s apartment in pirate costumes to a synth polka disco track whose title seems to translate as “Goblin Man (Yeah, So What)”

Captain DJ, 1978: “Disco UFO (Part 1)”
This was actually one of many names used by Mort Garson, who released music in a LOT of styles. He started in easy listening soft dance bands, got into experimental electronics and produced albums like the famous “Plantasia” and the Satanic-themed “Black Mass”, then came out the other side recording kung-fu-themed instrumental funk and even this proto-rap disco-funk single.

Abacusynth is a synthesizer inspired by an abacus, the ancient counting tool used all around the world. Just like an abacus is used to learn the fundamentals of math, the Abacusynth can be used to explore the building blocks of audio synthesis.

There's a lot going on here, but to be fair he is filled with boundless pleasure, which is bound to be distracting
