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.
