The first album and previously unreleased recordings from the world's first all-synthesizer ensemble. They were also one of the very first [possibly the first] performing synthesizer ensembles, working closely with Robert Moog, whose first factory was nearby. This material pre-dates or is contemporary with the first work of Kraftwerk & Tangerine Dream. A uniquely American slant on synthesizer music by a band whose pioneering contributions to the genre had been forgotten until now. Some excellent driftage found here, fans of the likes of Reich, Riley, Schulze, etc. should take note.
