shocking!

Is it a good sign when you're able to "trip" on these kind of works without ever having even touch anything? Including by "contact"?
BTW: Got this on vinyl, but can't hear the inflections to these works on it that I hear here. Thanks for posting!

Thank you so much! I never thought I would hear it again. I hope you have all of it available.

You'd never know about this stuff unless you heard it somewhere and went, "What is that?... I've never heard anything like that in my life...where can I get hold of it?? I first heard it in the London Planetarium, they used it for the entrance music for Laserium, the original cosmic laser concert in 1976. And it still sounds futuristic as it did then!! Amazing piece by maverick synth genius LF!!

I had a similar radio show at WBNY, the Buffalo State (NY) AM station, and played much the same music, right down to David Sancious.
Oh, and Trio.

Brings back loads of memories. The Franklin Institute in Philly had a Synthesizer exhibit back then and I was hired mostly because I could work the things. In between the scheduled demonstrations I recorded tracks "live" while explaining the process to the visitors. But the bosses never found out I brought in my turntable and copied tracks from Synergy, Vangelis, Jean-Michel Jarre, ect. to tape. Playing copyrighted material was verboten but all they had for the show was some jazzed up Handel.

@allenward123 :Yes-yes....I remember those days. I was in California listening to the same thing along with Mike Oldfield, Walter Carlos,PFM, Utopia, ELP, Nektar....so many others. I finally saw T-Dream on my 18th b'day when they played at UC Berkeley in 1978. Awesome show. Kinda funny what passes for music these days...isn't it?
In the summer of 1976, I had a late night/early morning radio show at KUNM in Albuquerque called "The Suicide Machine". This is the kind of music I would play from 1 am to 6 am on Saturday mornings. Early Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dream, Passport, Pink Floyd, Return to Forever, Tomita, Jeff Beck, and David Sancious. The trippers loved me.
