Bruce Haack's career has produced a variety of musical styles, particularly electronica and children's music. His most
famous effort is perhaps his influential 1970 release, Electric Lucifer. An album that incorporated an innovative
orchestration of psychedelic electronic music. He's often balanced out his two primary artistic focuses. Releasing a number
of Children's storytelling and activity albums, while also continuing to expand on his electronic projects, like 1971's
Together, an electronic pop album. His darkest album to date, Haackula strikes into playful territory. Haackula seems to
have inspired Haack's final landmark work, 1981's Bite. The albums share several song titles and a dark lyrical tone
different from Haack's usually idealistic style. Though Bite is harsher than his other works, it features his innovative,
educational touch: a thorough primer on electronics and synthesizers makes up a large portion of the liner notes, and
Haack adds a new collaborator for this album, 13-year-old vocalist Ed Harvey. In 1982, Haack recorded a proto-hip hop
collaboration with Def Jam's Russell Simmons, entitled "Party Machine", one of the final projects in his life. Bruce Haack
died in 1988 from heart failure. « hide |
