The
first
volume
of
San
Francisco
Moog:
1968-72
introduced
the
world
to
a
trove
of
recordings
from
a
little-known
hinge
point
in
electronic-music
history.
Vol.
2
brings
to
light
the
rest
of
tapes—and
the
rest
of
the
story.
In
1968,
Bay
Area
native
Doug
McKechnie
got
hold
of
one
the
very
first
modular
Moog
synthesizers
ever
made
and
began
finding
his
own
way
to
play
it.
Soon,
he
was
hauling
the
finicky
instrument
around
to
perform
improvised
concerts
at
colleges
and
psychedelic
ballrooms,
as
well
as
an
ill-fated
appearance
on
the
bill
at
Altamont.
Some
of
the
performances
were
recorded,
and
the
surviving
tapes—never
before
released—capture
a
free-flowing,
transportive
sound
that
fills
in
the
gap
between
the
austere
mid-century
academic
avant
garde
and
the
expansive
cosmic
suites
of
Tangerine
Dream
and
the
rest
of
the
Berlin
School
in
the
’70s.
Vol.
2
captures
a
wider
range
of
sounds
and
moods,
encompassing
austere
sonic
experiments,
early
sequenced
pulses,
and
melodic
etudes.
“These
pieces
represent
amazingly
fully
formed
early
approaches
to
the
very
idea
of
musical
synthesis...arresting
even
to
modern
ears.”
—Goldmine
“Presages
both
Tangerine
Dream’s
soundtracks
and,
in
its
most
grimy
moments,
Acid
Tracks.”
—The
