Sarajevo

by Betamaxx

supported by

c1tyhunt3r Sigma album, real masterpiece. Favorite track: Horizon.

Lord Zardon Remembering this Olympics particularly for the figure skating and the Mens Hockey, when I heard this album, it took me right back to Sarajevo. Also loved it because it was so different from the traditional Plug & Play-type albums that Betamaxx is known for. Favorite track: Igman.

Toots McGee Word of advice: Don't wait until this is sold out on vinyl. A truly great synth album. Favorite track: Olympic City.

about

Prologue: The setting is Sarajevo in the winter of 1984. The excitement and fanfare of the Olympic games comes to the cultural mecca of Yugoslavia (now Bosnia and Herzegovina) With an event unlike anything they'd ever seen, this was truly a time of cultural coexistence in Sarajevo, full of fond memories and celebration for it's people.

Most notably, this was the Olympic games that Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean won the gold medal for Great Britain, receiving twelve perfect scores for artistic impression in the free dance segment of the ice dance competition, a feat that was never matched.

This album is inspired by the events from February 8th - 19th of 1984. It pays homage to it's people, the athletes that competed, and aesthetics and design of the XIV Winter Olympic Games.
