Electronic System is a project of the Belgian synthesizer legend Dan Lacksman.

He has performed under his own name, and in groups (most notably Telex). He was an early adopter of synth music, to the point where the first synthesizer he bought, just 3 years before the release of this song, was the first one in Belgium!

“Skylab” is a 14 minute long voyage through time and space. It’s definitely more of a lazy pleasure cruise than a hyperspace rush; you get plenty of time to appreciate the scenery.

And what scenery! The basis of the track is a sort of slow, jazzy strut, with a smooth bass part and a relaxed drum section. The dreamy electric piano lays down the primary texture for the song, which is embellished by confident Moog noodling.

The track was released in 1974 on the album Tchip.Tchip (Vol. 3), although a different version was released first in 1973 on a different version of the album called Electronic System 3, which is credited to “Dan Lacksman With Moog Synthesizer”.

Today (May 23) in 1934, Robert Moog was born. Moog synthesizers were of course used in the 60s by the Beatles, in the 80s by Gary Numan, and in the 90s by the Rentals, all to fantastic results. 🎹🔥

RIP Bob

In the 90s I loved that first Rentals record as I've mentioned- and the Rentals have like, this strange alternate version of it on Bandcamp (with a live version of Friends of P? And missing The Love I'm Searching For?), which is weird, but the version they have there has this song that was on the Friends of P single that I had back in the 90s-- it's called 'So Soon', and it's rad as fuck. The Moog hook, the simplicity. Man, those Rentals.

As the dust settles on my #jamuary 21 getting cleared, I had also done a track for the 23rd. I was designing a sound and for some reason it brought some memories of the theme for Knight Rider. Then I started thinking about other #tv #shows of the #80s and decided to continue with that vibe. Except the drums are a bit more chaotic and extra texture on purpose that wouldn't have been period correct. A #RadioShack #moog completes this for the bass. #jamuary2025 #jam #music

"On October 12, 1964, [engineer and electronic music pioneer] Bob Moog unveiled the first modular voltage-controlled synthesizer [...]

What Bob designed was not wholly new, it sprung from a powerful new combination of existing ideas. The concepts, when combined with some elegant design choices, made a very powerful and revolutionary new system."
