It all starts here for Radio Massacre International. That most creative English band that almost single handedly brought back the Berlin School trio format back to prominence. All three perform on a raft full of analog keyboard equipment (mellotron, Moog's, etc…), while one doubles up on electric guitar. Sound familiar? Sure it does. Not that RMI was content to just sit in that same zone, as many of their albums followed other trends of German Kosmische, but primarily RMI were all about sequencer and atmospheric mid to late 70s Tangerine Dream. And the double CD Frozen North is the perfect place to start . We are talking 2 hours and 15 minutes of Encore meets Rubycon. Not a mere copy, but rather a completely unique take on a classic sound. To say it is essential for fans of Berlin School elektronik music would be understating the matter.
