The Secret Society CD released!

The Secret Society CD and Digital Album have just been released on Bandcamp.

Release Notes:
Before the Industrial music Any Questions? and the Electronic music of Imbued Vagary, there was the Electronic Rock of The Secret Society.  These earliest recordings of Ttam Troll (Matthew R Norcross), mC2p4 (M Scott McConnell), and others from 1985 - 1988 were compiled in 1989 for a cassette only release but have now been re-compiled from the best quality existing recordings for this CD release.  Synths, samplers, guitars, drum machines, electric basses, electronic drums, vocals, tape hiss, and a whole lot of weirdness fill the audio spectrum on this release.  Something for everyone!

01 It's Coming 0:18
02 Progressions 4:18

Imbued Vagary - Post Roast Beef Sandwich

Here's an excerpt of a live improv from FFS II Synth Jam 2022 - Birthday. Recorded at FFS II on 07/30/22.

Recorded after a dinner break (hence the song title), we wasted no time in working off our meal.  The track features Ttam Troll providing a sumptuous synth bass part on the Moog Minimoog Model D, mC2p4 effervescently refluxing forwards, backwards, and bi-directional audio collage samples on the Ensoniq EPS, and Steve O's delectable synth leads on the Korg Z1, Studiologic Sledge, and Kawai K5000S.
