Bruce Haack's "The Electric Lucifer" is rightly considered one of the masterworks of 20th century electronic music. Originally recorded in 1968 and 1969 (and released in 1970) it is an album both unique in conception and super in realization. An eminently listenable work where Pop-Psychedelia and Moog/musique-concrete sounds coalesce around Haack's central metaphysical concept of "Powerlove," a force so powerful that it could end war and unify humankind. Acclaimed upon its original release (one of Rolling Stones favourite albums of 1970 amongst many citations) yet unavailable for over three decades, "The Electric Lucifer" is presented here for the first time on CD! Remastered and restored from the original master tapes recently discovered in the Columbia vault (and featuring two previously unreleased bonus tracks)... "The Electric Lucifer" is your gateway to the profound yet playful universe of Bruce Haack, a "far-out" place where flower-power and inner-space electronics collide!

As electronic music has been popularized on the dance floor in this backwards generation, it is refreshing to hear an electronic record that is meant to be listened to... even if its 40 years old. A moog masterpiece, "The Electric Lucifer" is a delight to listen to, and perhaps even important(!), to hear an earlier electronic music that we might not expect when thinking of the genre. This record is measured meticulously yet still completely insane, and I repeat, a real delight to listen to.
