Electronic System

Tchip Tchip (Vol. 3) Electronic System

Pretty much all of Lacksman's '70s

releases command a devout collector

following, but none of them can measure

up to the one he recorded in 1974 under

the name Electronic System, Tchip

Tchip (Vol. 3). While much of side one

Tchip Tchip presents the composer's

signature blend of synthesizer kitsch and

boundary-breaking creativity, ranging

from the oom-pah sound of the title track to the wacky

"Spider," almost all of side two is devoted to the 14-minute "Sky Lab," which

sounds like it came right off an Air record recorded 25 years later, with maybe

a little Dark Side-era Pink Floyd thrown in. A true marvel, this track is why

original copies of Tchip Tchip are downright unaffordable...it's not to be missed.

Released on CD and an orange vinyl pressing limited to 900 copies!
