Rodion G. A. - From the Archives 1981-2017 (Vinyl)
$70.00
Regular price $50.00Rodion-Ladislau Rosca spent his lifetime creating music that was ambitious, groundbreaking and innovative. He was a pioneering composer, a talented multi-instrumentalist and producer, pushing musical boundaries to their limits as a solo artist and with his group Rodion G. A.
Despite being popular in their native Romania, Rodion G. A. had to work under an oppressive Communist regime only releasing two tracks for a compilation album in 1981. Rodion, however, made extensive recordings in his home studio. Described as "the Godfather of Romanian electronic music", he died in 2021 aged 67.
This new collection - compiled by Derek Anderson - draws on unreleased material from Rodion's personal archive. Some tracks sound like a metallic John Foxx-era Ultravox! Others showcase electronic melodic pulsebeats and psychedelic workouts.

PRE-ORDERS
Flying Nun only debits your account for a pre-order when it has actually landed in our store. We believe this is fair because supply can often be unreliable - availability and release dates frequently change without notice. Pre-order with Flying Nun and you can cancel any time prior to the product arriving at our store.
OUT OF STOCK ITEMS
Flying Nun only make products available to purchase on our website when they are actually physically held at the store (except pre-orders). Vinyl availability from all local and international suppliers changes on a daily/hourly basis. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee an online order for many items not currently held in stock.
