Echoes

An instrumental album recorded between the Bahamas and London, a soundtrack of an imaginary movie.
Wally Badarou, 1984

Badarou told the Boston Hassle it used almost exclusively a Prophet V, with hints from his newly acquired Synclavier; he and Chris Blackwell felt he should focus on what he did best, hence more instrumental. The release year varies: 1984 on Wikipedia, MusicBrainz and Proper, 1983 on NTS and 1985 on Trouser Press. DJs Francois K and Larry Levan praised it on release but it was largely unknown for about a decade, per Music Is My Sanctuary; Trouser Press's Bud Kliment called it glossy, versatile and forgettable, with the single the best track. We found no track times.
