"The Secret Cosmic Music Of The East German Olympic Program 1972-83. This is Flucht aus dem Tal der Ahnungslosen (1981) Track 3 from Kosmischer Läufer Volume Two. It is the second half of a 20 minute 172BPM run. This second visit to the Martin Zeichnete archive takes a broader look at his work for the East German Olympic Program. Across three disciplines we have another running programme, this time at 172 BPM, and take our first look at the music Zeichnete composed for gymnastic floor programmes and figure skating routines which he hoped would reveal his music to a wider audience. The selection also covers a greater time period from the mid 70's to one of his final compositions from 1983."

Kosmischer Läufer is imaginary East German Gebrauchsmusik, aka music for a purpose, that was used to help train the East German Olympic team. The first volume was for runners. This new one goes out to the gymnasts and figure skaters. Literally translated, this is "Escape from the Valley of the Clueless" by Cosmic Runner. #gebrauchsmusik #krautrock #techno   1
