  1. I remember him from the "Black Mass by Lucier" album. He does seem to be in touch with the dark side. That said, I came across another one of his albums that was all sunshine and light. A tool of both God and Belezabub. Betrayal personified. Go figure....

    1. Yeah his first album "Love Sounds" is straight-up easy listening. Can't put baby in a corner

  4. Wow! I mean wow. This is a damn gem from Morts catalog. He is up there with Wendy Carlos and Tomita with regards to loving kinship with the modular Moog synthesizer! Definitely not cute cuddly synth music.A shame he is no longer with us. Brilliant musician!
