Michael Bundt  - Just Landed Cosmic Kid

After spending some time with Peter Seiler in a duo called Sirius, Michael Bundt (ex-Medusa) went on to record several solo electronic works that resembled both the space majesty of early Jean Michel Jarre and the quirky krautrockish kinetics of Moebius & Plank. Michael Bundt used to play the bass with several bands as Nine Days Wonder on We Never Lost Control and Only the Dancers, Wintergarden on Wintergarden III, Medusa on a CBS single, and German Band called Nerve. His debut solo album Just Landed Cosmic Kid was originally released in 1977, was the first of 3 solo LP’s made around the time. This seminal album contains luscious space electronica throughout, and was one of the first cosmic disco albums ever penned. It has since become a collectors item, mainly for its main highlight The Brain Of Oscar Panizza which has been hailed by many as one of the seminal early krautrock tracks, as is still played in many club mixes…. But if you did a little deeper the album has a whole host of treasures including La Chasse Aux Microbes, gorgeous 8 min emotional-space trip.
