Headman – The Influence Of Stephan Eicher

This just sounds modern to me. It could have been done now! The video shows how artistic the standards had to be back in the day.

I had to pick this track. It is a timeless piece of great music. The music is so progressive and at the same time so danceable. I think the German lyrics really fit the cold and dark music. There have been loads of edits of this track which are still played on dance floors.

Very experimental synth track with an amazing melody. The Artwork is fantastic also.

This is the original version that I reworked. As you can hear I haven’t changed loads compared to the original. It was a cover from Kleenex, a Swiss all-girl punk band from then. The music was so avant-garde and could compete with every band in the world by this time. He has a great style in that TV performance. ’50s and synth pop combined, fantastic! A bit of Orange Juice Postcard-era and New Order at the same time.

As last I picked something from 1987, which is much more pop then his early work. But this version still shows the great combination of melody and electronic dance music. This time the lyrics are in French, another element to his music. Very honest not to choose English in this instance.
