I have one of his albums (possibly his first) called "Sequencer" (Sire 9103 326) (c. 1976) (Available on JEM imports.) I bought the album several years ago after hearing so much about this brave new music. I listened to it once and promptly filed it away. At the time, electronic music was still pretty new (to the general public) and some people apparently couldn't tell the difference between interesting, creative efforts and garbage. I'll take Tangerine Dream and Morton Subotnik any day. (Although I haven't heard anything that Fast has done recently.) Gary Koob ..!pur-ee!uiucdcs!uicsg!gmk
