This is one of my all time favorite synth records. Again, the driving rhythm is the KR55. Snowy Red aka Micky Mike was Marcel Thiel from Belgium. He started out making minimal synth wave stuff and then called it quits in 1989 with an album called The Beat Is Over. Between 1981 and 1989, he released four LPs, four 7”s and five 12”s. The track ‘Lies In Your Eyes’ has always stuck with me. The intro starts out like an icy landscape of noise filter sweeps and then at the 1 minute mark, the drum machine kicks in, and the synth melodies take over. The noise filter sweeps remain throughout the track creating a nice build up, and are solo’d again for the last minute. It’s seven and a half minutes of pure, stripped-down synth-wave heaven. Another standout is ‘Sinking Down’, which came out on his first LP in 1981. Actually, there are too many great tracks by Snowy Red. Definitely a staple in the Minimal Wave world.
