![]() ![]() The best of the children's songs jam their lyrics full of educational information, as well as silly puns and voices: "Bods" features a sparkly keyboard line and lyrics about how body language conveys more than words - pretty far-out stuff for 1974. Hush Little Robot's lighthearted tracks, like "School for Robots," "This Old Man," and "Thank You" feature banjos and Haack's vocal impersonations of a computer and an old man, along with plenty of random bleeps and bloops from his homemade synths. ![]() ![]() The result is a mix of robotic nursery rhymes and dark, psychedelic, electronic rock :the two extremes of Haack's repertoire. This German collection culls its track listing from his middle works, emphasizing 1969's rock concept album Electric Lucifer, and the 1974 children's album This Old Man. 1998's Hush Little Robot is the most comprehensive and easily available release of Bruce Haack's pioneering electronic music. ![]()
