Audion Magazine (established 1986) has a reputation for its different stance on modern music, ever willing to embrace the
unusual, and seek-out those that have helped shape the face of new-music, from rock/folk/jazz to the avant-garde. Audion doesn't adhere to trends or fashion, it exists purely for the love of the music.

Ideal introduction for those liking cosmic sounds, Krautrock, electronic and weird. This disc originally came with the 2007 edition of The Crack In The Cosmic Egg CD-Rom. Audion
Historic collection from the 1980s. This is the roots of where Audion started, with a great snapshot of the eclectic underground international scene at the time. Audion

Great set . Elton alas is no longer with us .
We will not see his like again .
Bandcamp has facilitated my explorations for finding other wise obscure releases.
Cheers to Bandcamp!! Nick Bradey
