New Age music

I'd like to add Larry to the 'New Age musician' list. He's known as one who created New Age Music. I'd like to have the link to help create the "big picture" for the New Age Music page to be worked on at a later date. I also think that stating him as a "pioneer" of electronic music is a bit much. Many New Wave groups like Devo had more of an inpact on electronic music than Synergy did. Synergy sounded like a lot of the synthwork done on a lot of 1970s prog and arean rock bands (re- Styx, etc). Hardly pioneering. Dunk meister 07:56, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There is a Category:New Age musicians, although I'm not sure Fast's style of music quualifies as New Age. Electronic (and rock) seems much more appropriate. As far as he being considered a pioneer in electronic music, I've seen magazine article that say exactly that. For example, here's the intro paragraph for his biography at AllMusic.com:

Beginning with the 1975 landmark Electronic Realizations for Rock Orchestra, Synergy explored the possibilities inherent in synthesizer/sequencer technology and digital-studio production techniques, resulting in some of the most inventive electronic music of the 1970s. It was mostly the work of synthesizer expert Larry Fast, who also brought electronics to the mainstream by coordinating synthesized passages for dozens of pop acts during the 1970s and 80s.

But of course, this article needs appropriate citations to support such a statement. — Loadmaster 15:20, 4 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Foreigner albums

Fast has been listed as contributing personnel on some Foreigner albums (e.g., Complete Greatest Hits). Does anyone know any specific songs and albums he worked on? — Loadmaster (talk) 17:54, 28 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Is this Fast's?

Quad releases?

It sticks in my mind that at least his first album - and possibly second - saw release in the quad format. I’ll do some digging and add to the article if I find anything. As a related comment, Isao Tomita would be right up there with Fast. While Tomita ‘covered’ classical, much of his music echoes the same vibe as Fast.THX1136 (talk) 01:07, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
