The name is familiar, but can't say I know his work. But now I want to see the movie.

Ooh, he was once on Mister Rogers' Neighborhood.

yes, they have that on the doco.. In the late 50's/early 60's he was also on tv "playing a person" with some strange electronic device that worked by physical contact with another person

There's a film about Haack? Class! There's much more to him than trippy kids' music. Listen to this track from 1970:

Bruce Haack - Electric To Me Turn.

You can stick your Virtual Vocalist up your arse. Haack was doing it better than you over 30 years ago.

Yessss! Bruce Haack!:hail:
I saw this movie about a month ago and fell in love with this guy's music... trippy stuff.
Thanks for the link cron, I've looking for his stuff lately - but the search has been fruitless thusfar.
Now, how am I gonna hear it... I just pulled my setup apart 'cause I gotta bring my stuff out to rehearsal. Damn!

Bummer eh, Count Feedback? I spent ages Googling to find that particular song. I just looked at the rest of that site the mp3 is on and it seems to be some sort of analysis of a computer game .

I've only got the Electric Lucifer album and a compilation of his kids' music called Hush Little Robot. Both are fantastic works of art by a totally radical thinker which are well worth tracking down.

its made me seriously think about doing that kids album i have been thinking of doing for years... the thing is -you can do the craziest whacked out trippy space music with some funny singing and the kids love it
