Experimental Products- Prototype LP
Experimental Products were a two-man minimal synth project who formed in Delaware in 1982, but operated heavily out of Philadelphia, PA. By the time the group disbanded in 1987, they had expanded to four members and had released one full length LP and a handful of 12” records of pioneering electro-wave greatness. Mark Wilde and Michael Gross remained the core members of the band until their demise.
Uploaded below is their lone LP, 1982’s Prototype, originally released on Short Circuit Records.

Michael Gross posted a radio interview on his myspace page. The group formed in Claymont, Delaware, not Philadelphia….where they played the club scene for awhile. His co-band member is deceased. Great talents.

I am 49 years old and I am just now hearing some of this really good music for the first time…sigh! I grew up in Alabama and we didn’t exactly have a great selection of radio stations to listen to, in fact the big FM station in Montgomery, AL was WHHY 102 and the GM there was an intolerable do gooder of an ass that personally picked every song that he liked and that met his religious criteria to play, he just didn’t allow anything that he did not like to play, he was a Fascist, needless to say we got the Larry Stevens sanitized version of everything….we missed a lot. Everyday I find more and more music from the early eighties that a lot of others got to enjoy back in the day…oh well better late than never.
