KAVINSKY...AND FRIENDS!!!!

So, Kavinsky played here the other night. Sebastian was also to share the bill, but bailed and was replaced by the..not so great Ultra Violet. Reviews were....mixed. But whatever. I liked Kavinsky before and that's not gonna change. Why?
It seems some kinds of music just never go out of style. Thank god! I wanted to take this opportunity to jump into the wayback machine and trace the evolution, post Kraftwerk'cause..we ALL know about Kraftwerk, right????

Jean Michel Jarre...Equinoxe...1976...MARVEL at the hundreds of keys and satin shirt. This is a gear fetishists' wet dream.****update****the original 1976 vid was removed so you'll have to do with a 1981 performance.

Next up is our man Jan Hammer and "Crockett's Theme" from Miami Vice circa '84. I chose this version because it's been remastered, sounds great, and has extra explosions and Don Johnson content. I care!

It's 1999. A young Cobrapants is obsessed by Dutch Electro, Bunker Records, Clone Records, you name it. Shortly thereafter, Ghostly puts out a comp and I am DJing this at the local rock club, trying to convince pouffy haired, MAC makeup smeared glam rockers that this is the new shit.

2008. The masses finally get it. And they said it would never last...


The mp3 I'm gonna leave you with is by an artist named Cursor Miner, who could be considered the UK version of Kavinsky and is somehow, criminally overlooked. His albums "Danceflaw" and "Cursor Miner Plays God" are must haves.
