Wally Badarou – Echoes

Wally Badarou – Echoes is the landmark 1984 debut solo album from the influential keyboardist, composer and producer closely associated with the legendary Compass Point Studios scene.

Originally released on Island Records and now reissued on heavyweight 180g vinyl, Echoes blends electronic music, ambient textures, funk rhythms and experimental production into a uniquely atmospheric listening experience. Built around early digital synthesizer technology and fluid, cinematic compositions, the album helped define a new approach to electronic music in the 1980s.

Known for his work with Grace Jones, Talking Heads and Level 42, Wally Badarou created an album that continues to influence generations of electronic musicians and producers. Tracks such as Chief Inspector, Mambo and Jungle Beat showcase the album’s futuristic sound design and genre-defying style.

This Proper Records reissue faithfully replicates the original UK Island Records pressing and is essential for fans of electronic music, ambient, synth music, Balearic sounds and classic 1980s vinyl albums.
