(Synthpop, New Wave, Minimal Synth, 80s) Scarlet Architect - Eternal Return - 2015, MP3, 320 kbps

Scarlet Architect:
In 1979 Doug Chamberlin founded a New Wave band, “Distracted” in Chicago. He had called upon three chums he had met while attending college in Adrian Michigan to come down to Chicago and form this band. They immediately started gigging in small clubs on the city’s northside.
"We were well received but it seemed that we kept getting the same sort of booking: open for a leading Chicago band. No headline gigs.
Towards the end of 1979 our drummer was fed-up with city life and decided to quit the band and return to Adrian.
In the Fall of 1980 Ron Rutherford,, my lead guitarist and Tim Prettyman, my bass player and myself went to Park West to see Kraftwerk. This was a major turning point for us. We decided to forget the guitars and drums and form a techno keyboard band. Thus, “Scarlet Architect” was born. We recorded our first and only EP at Hedden West Studios with Producer Iain Burgess. Scarlet
S.A.’s EP charted in the Rock Pool Dance Charts Top Ten for ten weeks. It is now one of the most sought after vintage vinyl in the minimalist techno genre or so I am told.

Schedule2:
This project contains work derived from my days as a folk musician back in the late sixties through the seventies. It also will include work created circa '79-'88 as Distracted and or pieces that didn't fit the SA style. Music created for the McDonald/Chamberlin mid-90s cd release "Fields in Fall" and, as stated, work created from 2001-2012 as Schedule 2. Compositions are strange creatures. They survive solely by virtue of memory alone and endure in the fond and fertile places in one's heart.
