PRODUCT DETAILS
Connecters Vol. 1: Original Recordings, 1992-1999 marks the first public release by Larrison, the recording alias of Midwestern visual artist and musician Larrison Seidle. Composing, programming, and recording entirely on a Casio CZ-5000 during the halcyon days of early 90s homespun exploration and experimentation, Larrison inhabited a dreamworld of his invention, soundtracked by space age pop vignettes speckling with hypnotic, ebullient layered synthesizer melodies. Unfolding across 26 tracks, all newly restored and mastered from the original sources, Connecters Vol. 1 reinvents itself, song by song, transcending time and defying the fated obscurity of this brilliant, discreet music made three decades ago. Larrison Seidle grew up in Greenwood, Indiana, a working-class suburb of Indianapolis, in the 70s and 80s. He did not come from a family of musicians, however a household that encouraged musicality. His father bought an electric organ, envisioning Larrision and his older brother learning the instrument. "It ended up with my father sitting at the organ some nights, making up, and playing over and over, this one song that I can still remember the first few bars of," recalls Larrison. It was possibly in this moment absent of formal training but full of encouragement and exploration, the artist's forays into musical experimentation took root. A permission to dabble that would distinctly color his creative output in the years to follow. While classic rock records were readily available in Larrison's childhood home, his father borrowed 35mm educational documentaries from the library to screen in the living room, each scored with whimsical instrumentals. As a teenager he recorded John Carpenter and Alan Howarth's end theme from Escape from New York using a small tape recorder placed next to the television speaker, and he loved Tangerine Dream's contributions to Ridley Scott's dark fantasy Legend. His obsession with these largely lyricless, synthesizer based compositions produced an idiosyncratic understanding of how music serves to complement not only what we can see in front of us but what we undergo in the recesses of consciousness. In 1985, when he was thirteen, Larrison convinced his father to buy him a Casio CZ-5000 keyboard. A novelty in the Seidle household like the organ before, it wasn't until after graduating high school in 1991, and starting college at Herron School of Art in Indianapolis, that he discovered the sequencer built into the Casio and began recording his compositions to tape. "The CZ-5000 and it's 8 track sequencer is the only musical instrument I used. It has a nearly unlimited new sound creation feature," explained Seidle.

package shipped well. there was a fragile sticker on the box which was nice, most places don’t put that and vinyls get damaged. package arrived in perfect condition.
Good packaging, product was in good condition and showed up on time great album no problems with any of the vinyls either very happy with it.
I am a huge Bob's Burger Fan and found this album as I was browsing the website. I had to get it immediately. I can believe I came across this on a random Tuesday. Can't thank coming across pale blue records enough. And the delivery is super fast. Can't wait for my next purchase.

Would definitely buy from Pale Dot Records again. The delivery was fast and the records sounds great!
Purchased as a Christmas gift for my 29 year old son. Can't wait for him to open. Packaged with care and timely shipping. Positive experience!
Vinyls arrived in perfect condition, expertly packed, and 3 days from the date of purchase (over the Thanksgiving holiday, no less). Could not be more pleased. Thanks so much!
We received our vinyl fast, it was fairly price, and they had a great selection to choose from. One record we purchased had an issue on the track, and the owner was quick to resolve the issue for us. I’ll be purchasing all of our records from this store moving forward!
The records and the sleeve are really nice. Pacific Dot Records blew me away with shipping it out like, immediately after I ordered it. Arrived well protected and perfect. No complaints.
fast shipping, great communication, and awesome staff. very responsive with messages too. can’t wait to purchase from them again
Records arrived inside the special record boxes, unopened, and in pristine condition. They didn't very long to begin the shipping either. Some places make you wait 3-5 days just to have it shipped out. They did not.
This is not about the product. I've ordered from PBD before and the Vinyls that come from them are wonderful and pressed really well!
This review is more on customer service.
USPS seemed to have goofed around a bit and cause a delay of about 1.5 weeks. Tristan was a highly communicative person and was reassuring with the options I had regarding if my order never arrived. Good sense of humor, accountability, and customer satisfaction. The Sweetwater of vinyl shops. Officially my vinyl go to!
