LP (12"/10" Album)
Label: GOT KINDA LOST

Barcode: 4040824085537
Catalog no.: GKL0000004
Item ID: 420280
A true s/t and self-released analogue synth nugget from
Oregon's under-the-radar synthesizer maverick "Rocket" Robert
Moore, originally out in a pressing of 142 copies in 1982.
'Rocket Robert' drifts in the backward-looking sounds of early
synth innovators, while equally mining the kraut-tinged moments
of punk-era instro synth explorers and the first breaths of
synth-pop, rather than carrying similarities to the "New Wave"
that was then talking hold of the masses. For fans of Bruce
Haack, Delia Derbyshire, Fad Gadget, Mort Garson, Gershon
Kingsley, Martin Rev, Morton Subotnick... This reissue comes with sound from the original tapes, two spaced out bonus tracks
(from the original sessions), liner notes and rare pix. The LP is housed in an old-school tip-on sleeve.
Also available: ROCKET ROBERT (CD).
