I have to second Gonzi's recomendation here. Although I don't have the CD
yet my local library has got both of the original LPs in its collection
along with a bunch of other Moog records.
If Luke Vibert were doing Plug tracks back in the early 70s (or
whenever the hell the album came out) it'd sound like Hyman's "Tap Dance
In The Memory Banks" (it's on the CD). I played the track for RDJ when I
interviewed him in back in the beginning of the year and he guessed it was
Hyman in about 2 seconds. He also mentioned that Luke was a fan of Hyman's
stuff as well.
Buy it.
