Psychedelic Brunch (1996)

Two German synth artists collaborated on over 11 CDs full of Moog music in a period between 1994 and 2008. The series was called 'Dark Side of the Moog' and it ranged between minimalist to ambient to house. Think Aphex Twin's 'Selected Ambient Works 85-92' and you'd be very close. Having made my way through all 11 albmns, here is one of favorites, 'Psychedelic Brunch' from 1996.

The titles in this series were all puns on Pink Floyd records, I didn't 90% references, but it does link this music to the wider range of space rock that Germans seem to love. Test your Floyd knowledge by figuring out these titles, I could only figure out 1.5 of them....
