John Epping / Wolf Nanssen / Mac Prindy ‎– New Waves - Flow (LP)

The 1983 LP New Waves - Flow (released on the German library label Sonoton) is a fascinating instrumental collection capturing the synth-heavy Neue Deutsche Welle (NDW) and early New Wave sound. Composed, arranged, and produced by the trio of John Epping, Wolf Nanssen, and Mac Prindy, it features short, punchy tracks tailored primarily for TV, radio, and film underscores. 

The album functions as a highly competent musical pastiche of early 80s electronic pop. Standout cuts like Epping’s "Rugby" and Nanssen’s "Hydro Panic" heavily feature classic analog synth tones, bouncy sequenced basslines, and rigid, synthetic drum machine rhythms. While some tracks carry a slightly generic "library music" feel, the production is tight and brilliantly captures the quirky, robotic, and optimistic mood of early synth-pop
