BATTERY SOUND

Artist: BATTERY SOUND
Title: Discharge
Format: Vinyl LP
Year: 1982
Songs: 7
Label: Flexible Records
Style: Minimal Synth

This obscure and rare album is the brain child of Mark Freedman – a composer, multi-instrumentalist and engineer.  He operated under a variety of monikers in the 80’s, most notably the Powerman name.  He also owned and operated a New York based recording studio called Battery Sound.  This project starts with three quirky female led minimal electro tracks and then proceeds into a couple of more experimental male fronted tracks.  The second side (East Side) kicks off with an instrumental minimalist arrangement.  The closing number ‘Breakdown’ goes back to the cheeky female fronted electro vibes.
