Hubbard '80 by Rob Hubbard and Marcel Donné

18 track 1980 synth extravaganza!

"It sounds like if Jarre had spent 1979 doing TV themes again!"

In an alternate reality sometime in 1978, an up-and-coming synth wizard called Rob Hubbard went to the NAMM in Chicago. There, he met a studio engineer called Marcel Donné. Deciding to work together, they produced an electronic album using a menagerie of the most up-to-date synths such as the Korg KR-55, Korg MS-20, Sequential Circuits Prophet 5, ARP-2600, Korg PS-3200, ARP Odyssey and the Korg PE-1000 and many others, all of which are now vintage.

This is that album (conceptually speaking): originally released 3rd January 1980 and remastered for our modern times.

In reality of course, it's the only official Commodore 64 remix album by Rob Hubbard (if you don't count 8-Bit Symphony!), aided by the incredible Marcel Donné. And that's historical too.
