A Minimal Synth classic that is almost fit enough to shine the shoes of 'Metamatic','Computer World' or 'The Pleasure Principle'; more importantly,done on a minuscule budget compared to those major label classics.But probably has more in common with stuff like the immeasurably wonderful "Dada Computer".
More introverted and suffocated analogue classics from a bedroom lost in the smogs of ignorance, only to emerge from that fuzzy egg as an ugly duckling that we don't want to turn into a Swan.
It says on the sleeve:
"The material on this album is gleaned from tapes 53 thru 68
and was conceived in 1982 and the 1st quarter of 1983"......I assume the numbers in the titles refer to the year of the source material? 1953????? It seems that John Bender is claiming to be the Inventor of Synth Pop?

You can't get more minimal synth than this homemade ,very, minimal synth classic tape from the now missing in action John Bender.15 tracks of lonely analogue sequences buzzing above submerged vocals enhanced with cold sounding room ambiance,over simple drum box beats. What more could a downtown johnny come lately disc jockey want to play in the chill out room of the night spot that was ,until recently, very a la mode?

From the "Metal Benders" of Dark Day, to fellow electronic contemporary Bender, of the John variety(what a segue!).
A more harsh and sparce variety of crude DIY electronica from Mr Bender,all released on his own Record Sluts label in handmade sleeves. This one being an attractive generic brown card sleeve with rubber stamped by hand designs that were unique to each of the thousand that were manufactured.
Excellent claustrophobic bedroom minimal synth classics, with inaudible introverted vocals low in the mix. Fabulous stuff.
