1970-73. Mother Mallard's Portable Masterpiece Co.
The first album and previously unreleased recordings from the world's first all-synthesizer ensemble. They were also one of the very first (possibly the first) performing synthesizer ensembles, working closely with Robert Moog, whose first factory was nearby. This material pre-dates or is contemporary with the first work of Kraftwerk & Tangerine Dream. A uniquely American slant on synthesizer music by a band whose pioneering contributions to the genre had been forgotten until now. With David Borden, Steve Drews & Linda Fisher.

Like A Duck To Water/1974-1976. Mother Mallard's Portable Masterpiece Co.
MMPMC were the world's first all synthesizer ensemble. This was their 2nd & final release, and was originally released in 1976. The music is a unique and extremely enjoyable blend of space electronics (ala Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze), minimal music (Terry Riley, Philip Glass), and contemporary classical & electronics (Gordon Mumma, John Cage). This album showcases a uniquely American slant on synthesizer music by a band whose pioneering contributions to the genre had been forgotten until now. Includes the original album, 20' of previously unheard bonus material, and bonus CDRom material; a QuickTime video of the band in performance in 1976. With David Borden, Steve Drews & Judy Borsher. ''A marvel of pioneering electronica.''-The Wire.
