In celebration of Record Store Day (Black Friday), Medical Records returns to France for the reissue of the very rare and sought-after Video Liszt LP. Ektakröm Killer was released in 1981 and had never had never been reissued or repressed. The artist behind Video Liszt was Xol, a French journalist and musician. Commanding a multitude of analog synthesizers, Moog modulars, an EMS vocoder, and an Apple Two computer, Xol crafted a very diverse album with styles ranging from sci-fi synth soundtracks, prog, space disco, and all the way to more accessible electropop. The album was produced by Richard Pinhas (Heldon, Moogi-Le-Moog) and recorded in Pinhas’s Studio Ramsès. Pinhas contributes guitar as well. Also of interest was that Jean-Louis Rizet (from French space rock group Pôle) engineered the record! Lovers of Einzelgänger, Jean-Michael Jarre, Kraftwerk, as well as late period Heldon will be head over heels with this hidden gem. Original copies have become very collectible and expensive in the secondhand record market. Presented on high quality 180gram classic black vinyl with the original reproduction artwork and bonus insert with the original artwork from the 1981 release’s inner sleeve.

bought this on vinyl yesterday and HAD to buy it on here as well. This is a prime exemple of something old, made new and exciting again. I've lost this record from the start. Very dark at times. exciting at times and crushing at others. This is a perfect instance of scifi being turned into music nocturnalmaniac

Zak Mering is the $h\T If you don’t listen to his music you are a natural born sucker.
My favorite track is Point Of No Coming Down.
Definitely a rare artist. If you see his merch buy it up, cuz it’s worth its weight in gold. john687687
