Konrad

2014 release. Deluxe reissue of a scarce 1982 private press LP of strange and curiously compelling bedroom electronic music infused with far out fantasies (realities?) of UFOs, synchronicities, and quantum weirdness. But who was Konrad? Crate digger Jeff Hassett of the Waxidermy blog found out when, after reviewing Evil on his site, Konrad posted a comment and revealed himself as Idaho resident Barry Konarik. As a result, this outsider masterpiece is available again in a new edition featuring high quality Stoughton tip-on covers and, for the first 1,000 copies only, a bonus 45 with three more killer tracks including 'Ethereal Sequence,' a cosmic theme song for the recently-reactivated label of the same name, founded by Douglas Mcgowan, producer of the stunning I Am The Center  new age compilation. The return of Konrad is an event not to be missed."
