Electronic soundscapes produced 1973-81, sexual and luxurious, the shadow of San Francisco's bathhouses looms large on these recordings. Originally used by gay porno company Fox Studio to soundtrack their movies and posthumously released from an artist who died in 1982; it is surprising how advanced and innovative School Daze is, as well as the undeniable similarity it bears to ambient-era Aphex Twin - more shocking is the fact that it has spent over 30 years gathering dust. Sounding all the more like the future getting lost in the post, School Daze is essential listening for all technophiles.
