From Canada, Sammmmy has ELECTRONIC ORCHESTRA ’80 and MYHAEL DANNA "ELEMENTS" .
These are very rare lps put out on an Oakville,Ontario label (Frederic ...). The Co. was more known for putting out music scores.
"Elements" is rather important since Danna ( now living in, I believe, California) has become likely the premier Canadian soundtrack composer (big bucks man). He started off doing pretty well all the Atom Agoyian films. An early US film which he scored was that Amish thing with Harrison Ford where the music is very sparse, open-country; new-agish.
"Elements" however is different . It’s his first lp -an instrumental keysprog.
Electronic Orchestra has him conducting and one of the synth players was my friend Roger Humphreys ,who put out the Beyond the Gates of Slumber cd in the late 90s which sounds of Renbourn/Pentangle.
In ,as early as ’79 Roger and his group Vertigo were covering "Supper’s Ready". I have a great tape of Vertigo doing their own compositions - VERY "Trespass"-period Genesis.
Electronic Orchestra is nothing to write home about -just very classical-sounding synth renditions of classical music biggies.
the other rare one is the CLEMENTS AND DANNA lp, which I do not have and , last I heard, neither does Clements.
Funny how fate casts the dice: one guy lost to obscurity , the other becomes famous.
