Ray
Lynch, the pioneer of Electronica, played electronic music before
it was even hip. By fusing the multi-layered instrumentation of symphonic
music with the dynamics of the electric keyboard, Ray Lynch constructed
an innovative and unparalleled style in electronic music. Ray Lynch
was also one of the first serious electronic artists with a classical
background that embraced the new musical technologies.

An electronic
classic. Even if
you don't recognize the name, you've probably heard music from THE classic
Ray Lynch album. It's exuberant and uplifting, rich with romantic, melodic
themes and electronic playful arrangements. With sales in excess of
l, 256,000 albums worldwide, Deep
Breakfast showcases
the best in electronic music. Features viola, piano, guitar, flute,
and electronic keyboards. Like every artist of Electronica, Ray delights
in the discovery of new technological possibilities for electronic music
wizardry, and Deep
Breakfast reflects
his enthusiasm. The fact that this album is certified Platinum by the
R.I.A.A. reflects the pleasure of its listeners. Ray
comments: " DEEP
BREAKFAST (1984) was possible because
I had already done 'THE SKY OF
MIND ', and
new technological tools had become available. One
part of my character had been summarized and expressed in the previous
work and I was ready to do something different - something more energetic
and less "controlled." I didn't "plan" or prefigure
the album as a whole (I never do this). I simply started writing pieces
which were interesting or moving or fun, or any combination of the above,
and when I had enough pieces I spent a fair amount of time sequencing
them until they seemed to work together. Technology played a significant
role in this album: I had acquired an affordable 16 track tape recorder
(so that I could work and record in my "home" studio) and,
equally important, a Yamaha DX7 synthesizer which, when combined with
the Korg Polysix and Arp Odyssey I already had, gave me the variety
of sounds needed for a predominantly "electronic album." I
had wanted tools like these for 15-20 years and the exuberance I felt
from their acquisition spilled into the music I was creating." Ray's
use of synthesizers in " The Oh
of Pleasure " represented a breakthrough
in the history of electronica. You probably will recognize "
Celestial Soda Pop."

Blue Thing " is an electronic
musical odyssey whose theme is the play between masculine and feminine
elements, and the emotional beauty of the music is truly uplifting.
