PHONOTOPOLOGICAL a new album by Robert Scott Thompson, on Acousmatique Records - was released on October 1. About this long-form work of 14 tracks, the composer notes: "Originally, my inspirations were drawn from progressive rock Thick as Brick, Close to the Edge, Suppers Ready and distinctly the work of numerous modern electronic groups and composers (such as Tangerine Dream and Morton Subotnick) who have often worked with forms of symphonic proportions."
