“Great X-1” by Informatics is a stark example of 1980s Australian minimal synth and underground electronic music, featured on Closed Circuits: Australian Alternative Electronic Music of the 70s and 80s, Volume 1.
With skeletal drum machines, rigid sequencing, and a cold, futuristic atmosphere, Informatics embraced the stripped-back aesthetic that paralleled Europe’s minimal wave movement. The result is hypnotic, mechanical, and forward-thinking.
A hidden gem from Australia’s alternative electronic underground.
