Snail​-​Headed Victrolas

by Amber Route (Feat. Walter Holland)

deathmetaldouglas68 This is an undisputed electronic classic. Modular synthesizers galore, vocals sang and spoken, guitar (at times with perfect delay/echo), lightly spinkled woodwind action (treated clarinet) and little else.

First three tracks contain side one. Side two is all one instrumental composition primarily run through with briskly paced arpeggiated synth sequences laced with the aforementioned guitar and clarinet. Mind bending in my not so humble opinion.
Favorite track: Asteroid Joiroid.
