Love Mhisachine

A few days ago I found an album in my collection that I forgot that I owned. Supermax is Austrian musician and producer Kurt Hauenstein and he released his second album World Of Today back in 1977. It was the time when disco music with a massive funk influence was on it's peak. When me and a couple of friends were DJ-ing in the early 80's Love Machine was the song we played to fill the dancefloor. This song went to high position in various charts and is still a highlight of this genre from these days. Listening to this record after almost 50 years it sounds fresh, not overproduced and far ahead of time. Some R 'n' B artists would die for this bassline today.

Monday's Long Song

Kurt Hauenstein was an Austrian musician who died nine years ago. As a well known session musician he formed Supermax as a studio and live project. His song Love Machine reached a high position in the charts in 1977. I have to admit that I wasn't firm with this kind of music at these times but I really liked this song because of the bass and its groove. A real highlight in these days and sadly forgotten. At the beginning of the 80's I saw them live and was astonished that I they played pure rock music with a massive touch of reggae. He was also one of the first first artist who refused to play in South Africa and one of the less artists that was invited to play live on Reggae Sunsplash in Montego Bay.
