Orange Cloud Nine vinyl

The much delayed and even more awaited Spike retrospective from Golf Channel is finally here! For the uninitiated, Spike Wolters was responsible for a series of self released albums in the early 80s recorded using all manner of primitive drum machines, synths and guitars which resulted in some of the most diverse FX laden, ahead of it's time music. Mentioned in hushed tones by feverish record traders for years to come, Spike's work was first introduced to the wider world by Golf Channel in 2011, with the New York label issuing Magic Table, a 12" featuring some of the Dutchman's compositions backed with remixes from Thomas 'Welcome Stranger' Bullock. Fast forward several years and the label has finally issued Orange Cloud Nine, a sixteen track retrospective which draws from the four albums Wolters recorded in the 1980s. Like most Golf Channel output, it's a must not least for the in-depth sleeve notes from Test Pressing's Japan-based DJ and record collector Rob Harris and the the visually striking artwork by Perks & Mini's co-founder Misha Hollenbach
