Description

Those who’ve dirtied their fingers searching high and low for analog synth nuggets can rejoice at the arrival of under- the- radar synthesizer maverick ”Rocket” Robert Moore. Less a reissue than an exhumation- what with a scant, hand- screened 142 copies produced in 1982 that circulated little outside the confines of Oregon state- Rocket Robert drifts in the backward- looking sounds of early synth innovators, while equally mining the kraut- tinged moments of punk- era instro synth explorers and the first breaths of synth- pop, rather than carrying similarities to the ”New Wave” that was then talking hold of the masses. Issued by Moore’s own Salem, Oregon- based Future Records in 1982, his eponymous debut is simultaneously light- hearted and shot- though with ominous oscillations and offers up a darkly- throbbing, other- worldly vibe that is sure to ensnare synth- heads, beat- diggers and those searching the margins of the private- press alike.
