This past Aug. 21st marked the 5 year anniversary of Robert Moog's death. A small pocket of songs made possible by the Moog in his memory take up part of the hour.
In A Hole Jesus and Mary Chain - Psycho Candy - 1985 - Reprise |
Delightful, mind-bogglingly noisy LP that makes me wonder how a major label like Reprise would have ever OK'd it for release. Major emphasis on treble and sugar with frequencies that have actually hurt my ears. |
Sunday You Need Love Trio - 12" - 1981 - Mercury |
People of the Night Ill Wind - Flashes - 1968 - ABC |
White Rabbit Great Society - Conspicuous Only In It's Absence - Columbia |
Grave Slick fronted band before she replaced Signe Anderson in Jefferson Airplane in 1966. Brought the bands two biggest hits with her. Live LP. |
Party Seacombe George Harrison - Wonderwall Music - 1968 - Apple |
First solo LP and soundtrack influenced heavily and equally by India and drugs. |
The Minotaur Dick Hyman - 45 - 1969 - Command |
Venus Claude Denjean - Moog! - 1970 - London / Phase 4 Stereo |
My Way Hugo Montenegro - Moog Power - 1969 - RCA |
Rock Me Electronic Concept Orchestra - Moog Groove - 1969 - Limelight |
Hustler's Convention Grandmaster Melle Mel & The Furious Five - S/T - 1984 - Sugar Hill |
A take on Lightnin' Rod's 1973 proto-rap tale of hustling, gambling, stealing and paying the price. |
