Keeler – "Planet Of Lovers" (Self Released) 1984
Keeler, aka the more exotically named Keith Walsh, was an unfortunate victim of the HIV virus in 1992. He was also in Port Said with Stefan Tischler,and post-said,and pre-Aids, he made a lot of electronic soundscapes such as this debut solo release from 1984.
Its all very Kosmiche,leaning towards the more danceable side of Cluster,but still unleashing the odd mini-Klaus Schulze space epic.
Basically anyone who lists a short wave radio as one of their instruments is fine by me.

Ah yes, thank you. This is the stuff dreams are made of ... I think, literally...
Sounds just lovely.
Unknown to me but I have heard the short wave radio played before, by either Holger Czukay or Irmin Schmidt of Can if memory serves. Many thanks.

Jesus, you are on the ball! After hearing Port Said, I went in search for some more of their related music and found this in FLAC form:

I was just about to put a link to it on the Port Said post you just did and lo and behold you were already onto it months ago!
A damned fine tape indeed - I expect to see a VoD/Minimal Wave/Dark Entries reissue and accompanying hype about its 'discovery' in the near future!
The fact that he's dead, will aid(no pun intended) his legend to fester,to the point of commercial germination in some future....dunno if its this future though....he aint funky enuff for Minimal Wave for example.
