Experimental Products

Experimental Products were a synth duo from Philadelphia / Northern Delaware USA. Members Mark Wilde and Michael Gross produced 8-track gear recordings, then had their music pressed to vinyl. In 1984 they released the 3 song 12" EP 'Glowing in the Dark', 2000 copies. "Glowing In The Dark" proved irresistible to DJs and became a 1985 dance club chart breakthrough. Today, many DJs and collectors consider it a "classic" synth record. Two years before 'Glowing In The Dark' they released a 10 song vinyl LP titled 'Prototype', 300 copies. 'Prototype' remained an obscure record until minimal synth collectors caught wind of it in the late 90s. 'Prototype' became a high priced bidding item whenever the rare vinyl showed up on E-Bay. It seems Experimental Products had again produced what many collectors consider a "classic" 80s minimal synth record. [SOURCE: VINYL-ON-DEMAND]
