Experimental Products

A synth duo from Philadelphia/Northern Delaware USA, members Mark Wilde and Michael Gross produced 8-track gear recordings, then had their music pressed to vinyl. In 1984 they released the 3 song 12'' EP ''Glowing in the Dark'', 2000 copies. ''Glowing'' proved irresistible to DJs and became a 1985 dance club chart breakthrough. 2 years before ''Glowing'' they released a 10 song vinyl LP titled ''Prototype'', 300 copies. This re-issue has improved sonic quality not found on the original 1982 pressings. Prototype is side A+B of the VOD double record set.
