If you have never heard of them either, there’s probably a good reason for that. The band only managed to get one solitary 7″ out into the wilds in the 1982 period: "The Echoes Fade" and "Voices."
The single was far below any radar of mine at the time so this endeavor was a valuable one for my ears! Especially when one looks at the utterly charming equipment list:
- Boss Dr. Rhythm DR-55
- Cosmo Sound Super Drum
- Elka Rhapsody G10
- EMS Synthi AKS
- Korg MS-20 [X2]
- Korg Polysix
- Korg Polyphonic Ensemble 1000
- Korg VC-10 Vocoder
- Linn Electronics LM-1
- Octave Kitten
- Roland RS-09
- Roland VP-330 Vocoder Plus
- Simmons SDS-V kit
