Ive been on a roll lately with discovering great "new" music other wise known as "old long lost classics"- first there was The Zodiac cosmic sounds cd(RARE OOP AND ABOUT 60$ USED)- a moog inspired mix of astrological poetry and 60s psychedelia and i thought that nothing would top it until i stumbled across this album! Maybe im being overly generous with my 5 stars lately but this one is another faultless winner! Take some moody blues- some early moog and modular synths- kraftwerk - and haack's own homemade synths then combine with a drug fueled concept album that uses some of the first vocoder vocals- unique takes on woodstock era flower power sentiments and a kind of manic mix of eastern religion and christianity and the result is Haacks masterpiece The electric lucifer! There are songs on here that are so far ahead of their time that they sound like something youd hear today on warp or local underground college station! If you like bands like the united states of america -broadcast- boards of canada- kraftwerk- or the more weirder side of the moody blues and early pink floyd than get this now- as soon as i saw the cover i knew this would be good but i didnt expect a one of a kind classic that hasnt left my cd player in days. Its hard to describe but it veers from sound collage to sunshine pyschedelia- to menacing electronic pop- its catchy but not in the simple way and i find it impossible to find any faults even when the material occassionaly gets a tad cheesy!(just a bit) Great lyrics crazy arrangements and a totally unique artist! One of my favorite unknown forgotten albums that deserves more recognition that the liner notes clearly imply! PS great liner notes and the bonus material is really interesting- interviews and some performances mixed off afew live radio shows from the era!
