Out-of-Place Artifacts

Following on from This Heat's "24 Track Loop" in the post-punk thread, a thread of eerily prescient old records, the digger equivalent of the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Out-of-place_artifact
E.g. this mad proto-footwork from 1984:

Charanjit Singh's "Ten Ragas to a Disco Beat" got all the hype, but I reckon this 1983 Bollywood acid techno is way madder:

This unreleased Muslimgauze track made in 1985

The drums the track is built on weren't available until 86 and the sample used in this is most likely taken from Raw which is also from 86, but Twitch told me he had no reason to doubt what Bryn had told him so 🤷‍♂️

JP Decerf invents coffee table drum and bass 1978 or something

 

[WashYourHands]

Can with proto-breaks

Igor Wakhévitch - Rituel De Guerre Des Esprits De La Terre

Proto acid workout from France, 1973

 

[Mr. Tea]

Charanjit Singh's "Ten Ragas to a Disco Beat" got all the hype, but I reckon this 1983 Bollywood acid techno is way madder:

That's pretty great, but the arpeggiated synth bassline sounds a lot like a slower version of the one in this Pink Floyd track, from a decade earlier:

Alexander Robotnick - Problèmes D'Amour

More TB-303 shenanigans from 1983

 

[Leo]

proto-something...kinda proto-Afx in parts

René Roussel - Caramel

I would dismiss this as Villalobos influenced minimal techno featuring generic house chords with a bit of Detroit / Red Planet styled jazz noodling thrown in towards the end.. but it's from 1980..
