A 12-inch single cut from Nomaden, a collaborative work by the Stroer Duo—brothers Hans P. Stroer and Ernst Stroer—and vocalist Howard Fine, featured in the guidebook OBSCURE SOUND REVISED EDITION. The A1 track, extended to 7:50 for this 12-inch version, features intense Latin breakbeats and powerful horns delivered with a solid and metallic sound, with vocoder vocals flying spacey throughout the mix. The B1 track, a jazz break not included on the album, showcases Howard Fine’s rap-style vocals. B2 is another highlight—starting with a metallic ambient intro and evolving into a transparent, uplifting piece of world electronics reminiscent of Wally Badarou. Needless to say, the audio quality is of the highest grade.
