Only 1 left in stock

$80.00

“Galen Herod is one of the pioneering synthesis artists of American cassette culture. From 1979 to 1982 he produced several outstanding and creative electronic tape releases which he distributed either via Eurock or by himself in the Phoenix, Arizona area. His very early tape works are dominated by abstract, austere, experimental electronics in the vein of Conrad Schnitzler, using tape loops and completely homemade synth-equipment includes oscillators, filters, and sequencers designed and built by his friend Gary Dukarich. This box set includes four LPs with music from Xom (1979), Gulag (1979), and Limacon (1979) (all recorded 1979-’80), and Patterns for the Outside Surface of a Cube (1980), The Trouble with Bill (1982), Meditationes Algebraicae, and Life on this Earth (all recorded 1980-’82), plus a 7″ of bonus material.”
