I recently had the pleasure of an e-mail from a guy called Ron Kutulas who offered to send me some Smylonylon tapes I didn't have. I still have a bunch that I've not posted (because I'm too lazy) but what I'm mostly missing are the early ones, such as this one.
As you can see the tracks are largely early disco with lots of synths and weird foreign stuff.
I'm particularly crazy about the Ibrahim Tatlises track but if you search for this track as titled, another lame ballad comes up. So either this is an earlier version of the track or else it's a different one. Would love any info from someone who knows.
Also, Ron Kutulas wanted me to particularly point out the Bappi Lahiri track which is an Indian cover of Buggles' Video Killed the Radio Star.
I was also recently invited to be on Shoreditch Radio's show Dance Dance Dance to the Radio. You can hear the show and the track I picked to recommend (Luther by Matthias Zimmerman) at minute 38:10 here.
