Rüdiger Lorenz's Southland is a captivating piece of early 1980s electronic music, originally recorded at home using an extraordinary arsenal of analog instruments. Lorenz crafted the album with tools including a Korg Polysix, Roland TR-808 Rhythm Composer, Korg Vocoder VC-10, Casiotone 201, and an impressive home-built modular synthesizer system consisting of 101 modules, resulting in a richly textured and deeply personal sonic journey.
Thematically, Southland takes listeners on a geographic voyage through remote and exotic locations — from the Sandwich Islands and Tonga to New Caledonia and Antarctica — painting vivid electronic landscapes that feel both exploratory and meditative. Reissued in 2015 by the respected German label Bureau B, this album is a rewarding find for fans of progressive electronic music and vintage analog synthesis.
