Drew Dobbs - Sophisticated Savage mp3 album

This is ROBO himself, and, having just discovered this entry for a long-forgotten K7 release, I thought I'd say a word or two about it. This tape was mentioned in a 1985 issue of DETAILS magazine, in the playlist of a French DJ who had used it in a set (I'm too lazy to go and pull the clipping out right now and get the name). That was it's big exposure to the world. Mainly due to the ROBOT song, which was a popular fave for many years. This was one of my only solo releases for many many years, audio-wise, as I spent all of 1982-1996 in Big City Orchestra, and gave all of my best material to them, and then I joined three other bands along the way- including CHOTCHKE, the bassooncore band (1993-1999) and my current outfit Neighborhood Bass Coalition (NBC), which was born in 1996 and is still going strong. Good ol' Al Margolis of Sound Of Pig...I believe he's also still going strong, bless 'im. Ahhh, those many hundreds of cassettes that we did in those days, hard to "review" this material, in that so much of it is virtually unlistenable now! There are always moments of brilliance, surrounded by a desperate need for editing and pruning! Well, that was harder to do, back then, with the supercrude gear that we were using. I bet if I played this again (I think there's a copy deep in my files someplace) I'd find some of it pretty cute.
