FRANK GARVEY-OMNICIRCUS, L.P., 1979, U.S.A

circus



Renaissance man by way of Chicago, Garvey recorded this album there which would later be the impetus for realizing the OmniCircus Robotic Theater Ensemble in San Francisco a few years later. We posted his first LP a few months back and are now pleased to bring you the other missing link from this part of his career.

Pushing sound barriers throughout most of the LP with heavy synth work and tape saturation cymbals, droning and built-up textures, not unlike many later recordings by MB and the likes. We love it for this intense exploration of the synth, he has definitely mastered his craft, containing all blasts & washes of sound collage.

Again, production here is top notch. the back reads: "This recording contains the music for the first 2 sections of "Ominicircus", a theater piece for electronic music, computer graphics, video synthesis, dance, sculpture, architecture and drama" wow!
back cover notes also elude to a 3/4" tape version as well as VHS and Beta documents. PLEASE get in touch if you have these??! Synth mad scientist excursions at their best! complete again with xeroxed/do it yourself lay out ...

ROBERT W. BOYD- $ 5 KEYBOARD MUSIC, CASSETTE, 1994, U.S.A.

5dollar






















Im still not sure if cassette's title is meant as- "this tape is only five dollars and you get all this great keyboard music".. or if it's more of a "i made all this music using a five dollar keyboard " either works for me, the talented robert w. boyd delivers some compelling albeit odd tunes on this "keeping it weird" cassette filled with 14 interesting, cryptic and original compositions with one cover of Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov's flight of the bumble bee.

4 track casio muzak anyone?

favorites include brass celesta kalimba jazz, synthetic voice/electric piano melody and pan flute slow melody. sanity muffins indeed.

DOUGLAS BENNETT-YOU WERE ON MY MIND, ONE SIDED 12", LP, 1982, U.S.A

I have found one other album by douglas bennett under alias EXIT 16 also interesting but this takes the prize, nothing anywhere on this little GEM........

This could be one of the MORE OUT THERE obscure 12 incher's we have come across
a one sided jammer filled with sparse electronics and a very minimal
early house style break circa 82.. not cybotron but very very weirdly cool ALOT cheesy and super unique, back to playing video games under the influence again here.....enjoy

TOM'S LITTLE BIG BAND-S/T,TGA, LP, 197?, U.S.A

tom























For the last five years, TOM'S LITTLE BIG BAND has been delighting audiences all over the country. with the talents of only two people-himself and a percussionist-he has created what is truly a little BIG BAND sound. Tom's accomplishments as a singer, encompassing every type of vocal music; his reputation as an instrumentalist; his versatility and know-how to control and utilize many sounds of today's electronics- organ,piano synthesizers confirm his success as an imaginative innovator.

absolute SPILLED over the top moog synth madness on these two featured tracks by the handsome tom anastasi and bill lind, one track covers a scorching version of ccr's proud mary in a high paced and spaced moog mood frenzy!!! other song features instrumental version of Aquarius by the mamas and the pappas with bombastic drumming and ballistic organ moogarama, this one will have the peoples over at waxidermy or any other private press/synth nut losing wigs.

this could delight fan's of bruce haack, mr.quintron and silver apples.
