The man behind Synergy is Larry Fast a native of New
Jersey who was to have a far-reaching effect on the use of
synthesizers in rock music during the seventies and eighties.
Larry Fast first came to prominence with the release of the
debut album from Synergy called Electronic Realizations For
Rock Orchestra in 1975. Prior to the release of Synergy's
debut Larry Fast had been at college. Initially Larry trained
as a violinist and pianist before entering college and taking
a few computer science courses. It was during this period
that Fat became interested in synthesized music and began
to build his own synthesizers. At this time he was introduced
to Rick Wakeman at a local radio station and both musicians
enjoyed an immediate rapport with Larry Fast interesting
Rick Wakeman in his home made instruments and his
customizing of existing synthesizers. He was invited over to
England to assist with the synthesizers on the Yes album
Tales From Topographic Oceans. Shortly after this Larry Fast
gained a record contract, which saw the beginning of Synergy
and the subsequent release of the debut album which
received plaudits from no lesser person than Robert Moog
himself who at the time claimed the album to be "the most
important recording using his Moog synthesizer". Soon after
the release of the debut Synergy album Larry Fast was
introduced to Peter Gabriel who at the time had just left
Genesis to embark on a solo career and Larry was invited
by Gabriel to help with the synthesizer work on Peter's
series of self titled solo albums. During this time Larry also
worked as part of Peter Gabriel's live band and performed
on many sessions for diverse artists including Foreigner,
Kate Bush, Art Garfunkel, Hall and Oates and The Fugees in
addition to recording and releasing albums with Synergy.
During the eighties Larry Fast also moved into film work
scoring the films About Last Night and Planes, Trains and
Automobiles.
Metropolitan Suite comes from 1987 and is Larry's take on
New York. The album is made up of nine tracks of which five
are taken up with the Metroplitan Suite itself which offers
musical sketches of New York through different periods in
it's history. As with all the re issues in this re issue series
the album has been re mastered for release and contains
sleeve notes by Larry Fast.
