Zeus B. Held

***Medical Records is elated to reissue a very special vinyl collection consisting of a hand picked selection of vocoder and synth tracks by the one and only ZEUS B. HELD. Zeus is a well-known and acclaimed German musician and producer also made famous for producing GINA X PERFORMANCE. Zeus first began his musical career in the mid 1970s with the German prog rock group BIRTH CONTROL. Subsequently, he recorded three solo albums: Zeus’ Amusement (1978), Europium (1980) and Attack Time (1981). He performed a number of interesting live shows supporting the albums all over Europe using a number instruments such as Fender Rhodes, Hohner Clavinet, Hammond Organ, Poly and Minimoog, ARP sequencers and most importantly, a Sennheiser Vocoder VSM 201 among other various instruments. His musical influences ranged from Rick Wakeman and Keith Emerson to Kraftwerk and Steve Reich. The tracks that make up this compilation were selected from the aforementioned solo records. Ranging from straight out cosmic disco to propulsive proggy funk to the unclassifiable, this collection is a perfect representation of his solo work. Specially remastered for this vinyl reissue. Presented on high-quality 180-gram colored vinyl.
