Haack Attack

 (Sorry for the late post everyone, I was busy yesterday and couldn't finish my post, so here it is)

Today I want to show you all the real father of electronic music, or someone who started before Kraftwerk. It was one man and his name was Bruce Haack (very fitting name). He had been working on electronic music equipment since the 60's and had built his own synthesizers and other equipment. He made quite a bit of music in his time and tried to get the public interested in electronic music by going on television shows and touring around. Haack would never sell his synthesizers or other equipment and thus was never given the credit for it. Here's a few tracks by the genius that is Bruce Haack:

Song: Party Machine

Album: Haackula

This version is edited down, the real one is much longer but it doesn't exist on youtube.

Song: Program Me

Album: Electric Lucifer

Song: Electric To Me Turn

Album: Electric Lucifer

Song: Stand Up Lazarus

Album: Electric Lucifer Book Two

Bruce Haack had an interesting beginning because of his ability to play anything on the piano from memory and experimented with peyote with Native Americans. Before he had been making albums, he had made children's music along with Esther Nelson. From there on he composed his album The Electric Lucifer which was an album where Heaven and Hell were having a battle and Earth being caught in the middle of it. He would go on to make quite a few more albums but would never gain in popularity. His contribution to electronic music was astounding but he wouldn't go down in history with the likes of Kraftwerk. So let's give this man the credit he deserves, tune in!
