5 out of 5 stars Sounds from a by-gone age.......2007-02-17

Roger Powell was one of those musicians who really got into the analog synthesizer scene and brought his own voice and feeling to these instruments which were, for the most part, very hard to play. For those that don't remember or didn't know, these were keyboard instruments that required you to play one note at a time, layering the tracks to produce the polyphony you hear, and you had to manipulate knobs, sliders, and patch electronic paths in order to produce any sound. Roger shows his excellent technique and prowess using a variety of Arp synthesizers to create the electronic landscapes on this CD, creating a distinctive sound. For those that remember such early analog synth productions as T.O.N.T.O., Powell's effort here show another side to the pop synthesizer scene in the 1970s.

5 out of 5 stars A Keyboard Essential.......2005-09-13

The long-overdue CD reissue of COSMIC FURNACE hasfinally happened! Roger Powell's tour de force fromthe '70s is easily up there with the best efforts of Larry Fast (SYNERGY) W. Carlos (SWITCHED-ON BACH) and Dick Hyman (MOOG). Its sound is scarcelydescribable and years ahead of its time...if youenjoy keyboard-based instrumental music with afuturistic twist, COSMIC FURNACE is a must-have.But now we need to see a reissue of Roger Powell'sother great record, AIR POCKET. And I, for one, would love to hear what Powell is doing in the present day...dare we hope?
