Bleep

Storied New York synth mastermind Tommy Mandel — famed for appearing alongside The Clash, Tina Turner and The B-52s, among many other stalwarts of 1980s pop and rock — delivers a set of electronic lullabies with Music For Insomniacs. In the classic vein of other private press recordings by the likes of Angelo Badalamenti and Mort Garson, this 1984 LP transcends its utilitarian purpose into the realm of cult reappraisal, containing myriad synthesised ideas purpose-built for electronic bliss.
