Album Notes & Community Reviews

An early showcase of the commercial potential of the synthesizer, the veteran jazz pianist arranged an entirely electronic suite of original pop instrumentals. The record's whimsical, futuristic tones spawned a surprise hit in 'The Minotaur', marking one of the earliest successful fusions of avant-garde electronic gear with accessible rhythms.
