i just put a record up on ebay of synth proto techno and notice it was by Alexander Goldscheider - now that name rings a big bell. Who is he??
-
crazy - he's just written to me - and he's bidding on his own record. -
Fantastic! Anyone who owned a Sinclair ZX Spectrum in the 1980s will probably be aware of Alexander Goldscheider - he ran the Romantic Robot company, of Multiface fame. Always wanted one of those.....
Aside from that, he did a couple of LPs for the Red Bus library - I think meself and Blighty have discussed his work in previous threads, either way it's that early 80s synth stuff that I love.Comment

The same thing happened to me, iueke. I sold one of his Red Bus libraries on ebay and he got in touch as soon as it went up. He's a really nice guy.Comment

he just told me its his first record - theres a full mp3 of it up - go get it.

I don't think so. I know Fiddy had some stuff out on the label. Goldscheider said he never got paid for the tracks he did for them. Two albums worth!! Cheesy early Eighties UK disco pop band Imagination were signed to Red bus too. It wasn't just a library label.Originally posted by iueke
I'm liking this track. I love all this early electronic stuff.Comment

if he didn't get paid, Fiddy was probably involved in running it. i remember dealing with his son at Zomba, he was a right scumbag.
the other side is well funny, its an electro "boogie" tune - i'll post it up tomorrow.Comment

Hi,
I loved the music Alexander wrote that was on the "B" side of the ZX Spectrum game "Wriggler". Does anyone know if that's available online anywhere. That would really take me back to being 14 again!!!!
Cheers,

Don't know, Morb, but I'd like to hear it!
I've acquired spares of Alexander's 'Themes For A One Man Band vols 1 and 2' and a couple of other Red Bus libs if anyone wants them, by the way!
Oh, and in reply to iueke - John Fiddy did help found Red Bus, it was him and a couple of other geezers. I have a Red Bus catalogue now which reveals the names, but it's at home so they shall have to remain anonymous for the moment!Comment

I was very much into Jarre, Vangelis, Human League, Mark Shreeve, Koto at that time and the Goldscheider track was right up my alley....having a look on some ZX Spectrum websites has revealed the track name to be "The Moons of Jupiter" but alas no archive of it...Comment
