Units ‎– "Digital Stimulation" (415 Records ‎– A-0003) 1980


San Fransico's Units, synth punk contempories of The Screamers and Nervous Gender,but far more commercial sounding.They quickly decended into the Synth pop quagmire, but the first few tracks of this "seminal" classic really cut the mustard, in fact the whole album is a great demonstration of man and machine in harmony.
One point of interest is that Jandek called himself The Units for his first album,"Ready for the House" in 1978.One assumes he changed his name because of this very combo? Jandek's a better name anyway.

Track Listing:

A1 High Pressure Days 3:19
A2 Digital Stimulation 3:12
A3 Warm Moving Bodies 3:32
A4 Go 2:13

Yes, it's because of this group he changed his name. He talked about it briefly in the John Trubee interview. They wrote him a "really nasty letter" threatening to sue him if he didn't!
