NEW MOOG AUTHORISED RECORD LABEL LAUNCHES WITH LIMITED VINYL & CD RELEASES FROM THREE ELECTRONIC PIONEERS: THE GRID, MIKA VAINIO & HIEROGLYPHIC BEING.
Moog Recordings Library is new record label established specifically to release limited editions of recorded works, sessions, concerts and audio experiments utilizing The Moog Sound Lab UK (Est. 2015). The MSL(UK) is a studio on open loan from Moog Music Inc (USA) designed to encourage the making of new electronic works and to welcome UK based artistic and public access with the aim to broaden experimentation and practical hands-on knowledge. The mobile studio was specially designed by Moog Music Inc. and is centred around the 2014 limited edition reissue of their legendary 1960s System 55 analogue synthesizer. As well as the System 55, The Moog Sound Lab UK also features six interchangeable full sized racks of the latest Moog instruments & processors (Moogerfoogers, Mother 32’s, Voyagers and more) plus stand-alone Moog keyboard based synths and an extremely rare vintage foot pedal operated Taurus bass synth – a prog-rock classic! Suitably high spec tech ancillaries come in the form of Bowers & Wilkins speakers,
an AMS-Neve mixing desk, a Prism Sound analogue to digital interface and Elektron rhythm composers – all making for a beast of a synth studio

David Ball: One man band of pioneering electro-pop distorters Soft Cell, part time PTV personality, soundtrack composer and all round synth afficionado & Richard Norris: eclectic beat-meister & ambient DJ, record producer, commited psychedelicist. The 1990’s saw worldwide commercial success as The Grid Scored 10 UK chart hits, many a euro hit including 1994’s interna­tional mega-hit ‘Swamp Thing”. In 1996 The Grid went on a holiday and they didn't return till 2005. In the initial week of The Moog SoundLab in early 2015 as the studio was literally put together around them, our abiding memory was their absolutely delighted grins as each Moog unit was added to the lab. Dave & Richard created this benchmark album of deluxe ‘tronic trax that showcased their prairie wide knowledge of electronica & their ocean deep skills as both technicians & original soundscapers – Kraftwerk-Ian werkouts, space noise jams, and slinky grooves with subtle pop-tones.
