Six Degrees of Sauerkraut--Part XXXVII: More Talking Cars/Heroes of the Glimmerlight



















Everyone in the Glimmerlight had a talking car, a light cycle, a cylon raider, and a poster of David Hasslehoff on their bluepool wall. David was a guy who really knew how to communicate with his automobile, which was something all the cyborgs could really appreciate. As half man/half machines who rode through the Glimmerlight on our talking automobiles, we all looked up to David and Kit, we loved them really.

So in 1982 when they decided to make a documentary about the adventures of David and Kit for the Amerikansche Television Netwerk "NBC," we decided to contribute sonically to the production. Pulling out our Roland 808s and our Oberheims we transmitted the Theme for Knight Rider to one of our brethren who had left our crystal shores: Stu "Kaufenmeister" Phillips. Check out the synth manna by clicking on the title of this post.

Rauf und runter!

I can't believe how incredibly helpful this site is! I'm still looking for the follow up stories about Roedelius, though. I've spent the past two years trying to dig up information on him, Moebius and Cluster in general--where can I get all the details about this pioneer from the Glimmerlight? In fact, where can I get more information about any of these artists! Besides the obvious places of course.
