electrophonic - Karl Rehn

 

Released in 1989, this cassette release was my first professional release, reviewed in Option magazine, Sound Choice, Gajoob, Factsheet Five, and other zines.

From the liner notes: 'no acoustic instruments were used in the production of this recording. All songs were created by recording the parts into a sequencer in real time and playing them back through electronic keyboards and drum machines.'. It took 11 keyboards and 2 drum machines to produce electrophonic.

  1. Suburbia (Elephant Jam) 4:15
  2. Autumn Leaves/Summertime 4:11
  3. Samba for Steve 4:19
  4. Night Song II (electric) 4:20
  5. Now I've FoundYou 4:56
  6. Round Body Midnight and Soul 5:40
  7. Untied 5:00
  8. Mesa Village Blues 5:11
