Vol.Ii

While the first album Dan Lacksman

recorded in 1973 was an atypical

singer-songwriter foray, the second

album from that year--credited to

his pseudonym Electronic System--

featured the full flowering of his

synthesizer mastery. His hit recording

"Coconut" had enabled him to buy a

modular synthesizer, which offered

a vastly expanded tonal palette-- if

you had the patience to re-wire for each sound you wanted to achieve. Which

was the perfect set-up for a studio engineer like Lacksman... the result is

an album full of sonic surprises, with each track presenting multiple, unique

synthesizer tones and attacks, even on such nakedly commercial moves

as his cover of Ritchie Valens' "La Bamba." An analog synth tour de force!

Presented on CD and a yellow vinyl pressing limited to 900 copies.
