One of my past synthesizer bands, Moebius, received a wonderful review of the song “Urth” from our first album, “Moebius.” Here it is, from the Mutant Sounds Blog comment by The Saucer People…

“My gods, I was here a few hours ago, that was about a dozen music blogs ago until I landed on one with the ‘Urth’ track..I thought initially it was going to be the illustration genius and sometime musical collaborator so I was pleasently suprised to discover a whole new ‘Moebius’. If the Urth track is anything to go by then I am in for a sonic treat of the highest proportions; they have everything, etheral synths, chugging analog fat bass lines, treated vocals and space related themes and to top it all it was made over thirty years ago, its jawdropping that nothing in the cosmic disco arena of today transcends it.

“Finally, isn’t it great when you get a post from a musician and far from asking you to take it down, they tell you they are happy for you to post it. It seems the younger and older generation of musicians get that a collection of MP3’s isn’t the album just as the map is never the territory and more prosaically, the menu is not the meal.”

“In his post I read that they had released a few records and it would be fascinating to track down more Moebius!”

Many thanks to The Saucer People!

More Moebius news!
Though more than 30 years old, the Moebius catalog is still quite active. The German label Kompost Records has licensed “Urth” for its upcoming compilation release, Elaste Vol. 3. The project is soon to be released on vinyl and CD.

England’s Light Sound Dark has licensed our hit, a synthpunk cover of “Light My Fire,” also from the first Moebius album. The project is oriented to the dance market and an excellent remix of the track by Mirwais will be included.

Due out later this year is a completely remastered release of the first Moebius album under the direction of myself and the record’s Executive Producer, Bob Heinlein. Many fun extras are planned!

How is the obscure late ’70s/early ’80s band Dow Jones and The Industrials (featured in Show #3) connected to the 1956 RCA Electronic Music Synthesizer (featured in Show #1 and Show #5)? The instrument, now in disrepair, is in the office of Columbia University professor Brad Garton, keyboard and synthesizer player in Dow Jones and The Industrials (featured in show #3).
