Vinyl-on-demand – VOD 51
"A 12" vinyl, double record set containing the music of EXPERIMENTAL
PRODUCTS. If you are a long time collector of 80s indie minimal synth
looking to fill out your catalog or a novice interested in starting one
up, there is no better place to start than with EXPERIMENTAL PRODUCTS. A
synth duo from Philadelphia/Northern Delaware USA, members Mark Wilde
and Michael Gross produced 8-track gear recordings, then had their music
pressed to vinyl. In 1984 they released the 3 song 12" EP "Glowing in
the Dark," 2000 copies. "Glowing" proved irresistible to DJs and became a
1985 dance club chart breakthrough. Today, many DJs and collectors
consider it a "classic" synth record. 2 years before "Glowing" they
released a 10 song vinyl LP titled "PROTOTYPE," 300 copies. PROTOTYPE
remained an obscure record until minimal synth collectors caught wind of
it in the late 90s. PROTOTYPE became a high priced bidding item
whenever the rare vinyl showed up on E-Bay. It seems EXPERIMENTAL
PRODUCTS had again produced what many collectors consider a "classic"
80s minimal synth record. VOD is now pleased to announce the re-issue of
PROTOTYPE to high quality vinyl. Re-mastered by VOD from the original
1/4" master tapes, this re-issue has improved sonic quality not found on
the original 1982 pressings. Own it now, experience it for yourself.
PROTOTYPE will be LP-1 side A+B of the VOD double record set. GARAGE
TRACKS, LP-2 of the GARAGE TRACKS side-A contains 5 unreleased songs
from 1985, all synth- drum machine, again produced with 8-track gear
this time in a band spare bedroom. Anyone familiar with the band can
expect more EXPERIMENTAL PRODUCTS brilliance. GARAGE TRACKS side-B
contains six songs from a 1983 LIVE performance. There are live versions
of 4 songs from PROTOTYPE, an unreleased song, and the song Mannequin
from the "Glowing" EP."
