if you trawl around.

how do you mean in quad? just out the door... please tell me.

The Buchla modular synthesiser he used on the early recs had a module called s.th. like the "quad spatial director" and a bunch of modules designed to simulate sounds moving closer and further away. It's a pretty bizarre (& awesome) instrument.

any thoughts on sandy bull? i think he's terrific. like running though the byrds eight mile high riff only on acoustic for half a record.

Never heard of Sandy Bull, sorry!

I've been heavily into Eclection's only album, but I think I've blethered about that to you before.

can you link me up for eclection's album?

there is stuff abt Morton Subotnick, reports abt lectures he gives and stuff like that. If you could place a piece on Morton Subotnick, Donald Buchla and the work the did w/early music tech, I'd fucking LOVE to read it.

not essential or anything, but i thought of you when i heard it cuzza the beechwood sparks and curt boettcher stuff on it.

It's quite technical, but worth reading. Peter seems to be a nice fellow, as well. There are links to the 2 Subotnick electonic works CDs at the bottom.

as to what i've been playing recently,,,

the inner dialogue lp from 69, on lawrence welks label ranwood(!), fantastic softpop, similarish to the free design, but COLD, like sunshineCOLD, clinical

ennio morricone's vergogna schifosi soundtrack, also from 69, hazy dreamy narcotic fluffyness

this track by stu phillips, of a-team/battlestar galactica fame, from his 1970 soundtrack to the film Follow Me (not to be confused with the john barry scored 1972 film), its about californian surfers in INDIA, i've tried to track down the record but failed (it has desi denny and billy on it too!)

the love generation - montage from how sweet it is, jimmy webb song, i dont know if this version is the best, or the other version, by...seomeone else i forget, but this is top drawer soft pop,. but i think you already probably have this

tom dissevelts early 60s dutch electronics

bob james and deodato, getting into that cti sound again

some schoolband music i found, some of its a bit wacky, but some of it is great, esp to a brit, sounds so distant and unreal

stars of the lids last album, should i get the dead texan too?

LOADS of hawaiian music, sol hoopii, al shaw, mcentire, andy iona, this was the sndtrck to our va/nc roadtrip, along with kay adams and patsy cline and, unfortunately, morrissey:(

bo hanssons 1972 swedish take on lord of the rings, its ok, kind of heavyrockmoogspherics

best of jean shephard, one of the most overlooked country singers?

cosmic michaels first lp, from 1970, outsider farfisa psyche

i bought a bunch of stuff, that i havent heard or mp3d yet

a Moggi lp (peiro umilianis 70s electronic stuff)

bobby brown live in 78, (the 2nd lp, he was supporting fleetwood mac in santa barbara,
but this was recorded out the back of his van)

onstage majority, moogloungepsycheweirdness, havent heard it yet, looking forward

christian bruhns soundtrack to timm thaler, from 1979. bruhn was always the king of prog-disco-electronics, never goblin!

Thank you. *beats Scott down anyway*

and been playing all the manix reinforced 12s again, so disoriented and woozy,

i have been wondering about music from Guam, and how there doesnt seem to be any, at least, not readily available

do you have her 'rock' lp, miracles, from 1972?

...MORT GARSON!
