i had a thread like this a while ago...but as well-known as this dude is i STILL feel he is dangerously under-appreciated. I just finally got to hear Captain Entropy today. holy shit...the more Haack stuff i hear the more and more my mind is completely blown. Dude is a huge inspiration to me, ever since i found my copy of The Way out Record for Children in 2000, i've been hooked.for anybody not too well-versed in his work, here are a few of my favorite tracks from the dude... 
tape loops, synths, drum machines, vocoder...early sampling...f*cking genius all around. R.I.P...1969:1973:1978:1981:

the electric lucifer was released on columbia but its still kinda hard to find
some of that stuff was recorded in 1978 and PLANNED for release in 2000, but bruce died in '88...it was finally issued at some point in the 2000s.
i have two of his records, got them for a buck each, but that was luck. you can find them if you look hard enough...most of it was childrens stuff.
from wikipedia:
In 1982, Haack recorded his swan song, a proto-hiphop collaboration with Def Jam's Russell Simmons, entitled "Party Machine".[/b]
the second-to-last track i posted is "Party Machine." not sure if this is the version that has anything to do with russell simmons, since it was recorded in 1978...
