Harald Grosskopf - Oceanheart (1986)

Second solo album from Wallenstein/Cosmic Jokers/Ashra drummer turned synthesist, which came six years after his debut.  Oceanheart kicks off with the pleasantly propulsive sequencer-based track Eve On The Hill, and continues in a mostly upbeat vein of 80s electronics.  The title track gives a nice change of pace in its suitably aquatic ambience.  The tabla on Pondicherry Dream adds a nice extra colour to the track, then the album ends as it began with a lengthy workout, appropriately titled Minimal Boogie.  Of its time, sure, but in the nicest possible way.
