Slowcore

Picture the scene. You're flying back to Earth from the war on Venus that's still raging behind you. It's 6am. You've got 2 days off and then it's back to Venus for another bombing raid. All you want to do is smoke some of that Venetian bud and sleep for 2 days. This would be the first track you'd stick on as you flew into the sunrise to get galactically stoned.

Supermax - Ain't Gonna Feel

In 1981 Supermax toured as the first mixed-race band through South-Africa and Venda. Despite warnings and death threats, Supermax finished the tour, but this made some countries refuse permits for entry and consequently the group was black-listed by some political organizations. Crazy scenes for an Austrian disco band. Check the flip of this record for slightly larger BPM counts and the ace 'African Blood'.
