You don't have to be afraid anymore

You should also listen to:

Ronnie Laws -
Pressure Sensitive (1975)

Dave Valentin -
Land of the Third Eye (1980)

Patrick Gleeson - Rainbow Delta (1982)

Synths here, there, and everywhere from American composer Patrick Gleeson. I'll avoid using words like "arpeggiating," "pulsing," and the like (except I just did, shit!) and just say that as far as the synth-y stuff that I post goes, Rainbow Delta is juuust a bit on the more propulsive side.

Track listing:
1. Rainbow Delta A: Frank Stella by Starlight
2. Rainbow Delta B: Unacceptable Dance Styles
3. Rainbow Delta C: Take the 5:10 to Dreamland
4. Rainbow Delta D: La Grange Point Five
5. Draconian Measures A: Arrival Music
6. Draconian Measures B: Ravel Goes to Germany
7. Draconian Measures C: Hobbits Are Dancing

Herbie Hancock - Sextant (1973)

One of Hancock's most challenging sets. Heavy on synthesizers. Atmospheric, dissonant, heady, and a lil' funky.

Track listing:
1. Rain Dance
2. Hidden Shadows
3. Hornets
