Steven Grandell - Animal Angst,LP,1984,USA
Here's another minimal synth gem.Released privately in 1984 by Steven
Grandell,a gay (now transgendered as far as i know) performance artist
this LP blends the early 80s experimental side of synth pop.Sometimes
reminding some K.Leimer recordings,or possibly that's how Polyphonic
Size would play if they were Americans.Hints of Vice Versa,Voice
Farm(circa 1st LP period),early Tuxedomoon,German Sepherds (not the
much experimental pieces though),John Bender,but also some taste of
the Teutonic German school (Vono,Alu,etc)
Monotonous angst rhythms with use of synths of course but also strange
instruments such as xylophone,violin,etc.Overall ,an exciting LP!
