Well, I wasn't born until 1973, so I missed out on those golden years, as my musical tastes at age 2 in '75 weren't quite developed enough yet for Rubycon.
I had always been a fan of electronic music going back to seeing the scientist Carl Sagan's TV series "Cosmos," which featured some Vangelis and Synergy music, although I didn't actually start adding any of it to my collection until I was about 13 or so. I mentioned some musical interests to a fellow about 15 years older than me, and he said I needed to listen to, and I can remember his exact recommendations, "Brian Eno and Tangerine Dream." So I dutifully went to my local record shop and found several TD albums in the bin. I chose Exit and Tyger, for whatever reason, and because it had a more recent release ('87, and this experience was in early '88 ), I chose to listen to Tyger first. I wasn't expecting vocals, I can say that, but I still liked what I heard. Exit really got me going, though, especially "Choronzon."
Whenever Optical Race came out, I snatched it up, registered with the fan club, and found out 10 days too late that they were on tour in Washington, DC, the closest place to me. By that point they were long gone.
I did manage to catch them four times on the '92 tour (New York, Philadelphia, Washington, and Baltimore). But it's been almost 15 long years since I've seen them live.
Pardon me, I have nothing to say.
