about

From 1984-1986, Ken and Wayne were members of the rock group Kameleon, which later changed the name to Runner when they added a vocalist. The band played original music exclusively, and they considered adding lyrics to make themselves more appealing to a decidedly commercial audience [in Baltimore, Maryland]. It didn't seem to help.

For three years, the band practiced in the drummer's basement, only to occasionally play to a live audience. Feeling that they could get fairly good recordings at Ken's home studio, he and Wayne left the band and started the tedious process of preserving the music on tape. They started with a new song ["What Next"], and continued to write new music with only a Teac 2340 with which to overdub. Halfway through this collection of songs Ken upgraded to a Tascam 38. One year later they had enough music for a cassette album. Ken had already established worldwide contacts having been involved in electronic music since 1980, so he began to distribute the tape through his mail-order list via Anvil Creations Studio.

One of Ken's contacts was Alan Freeman, who ran a cassette label in the U.K., and when Alan and his brother, Steve, heard the tape, they were excited to offer distribution in Europe. A deal was struck, and Auricle Music was allowed to sell copies from the U.K.. Much later, at Wayne's request, this and one other ["Nine Days Wonder"] was converted to CD-R by Alan Freeman, and after twenty years, the Moore/Myers first album was preserved in digital format for the first time. They are pleased to offer this seventies prog music (recorded in the eighties) as a digital download.
