Medical Records reissues a very special vinyl collection consisting of a hand picked selection of vocoder and synth tracks by the one and only Zeus B. Held.

Zeus is a well-known and acclaimed German musician and producer also made famous for producing Gina X Performance (also reissued by Medical Records). Zeus first began his musical career in the mid 1970's with the German prog rock group "Birth Control". Subsequently, he recorded three solo albums: "Zeus' Amusement (1978), "Europium" (1980) and "Attack Time" (1981). He performed a number of interesting live shows supporting the albums all over Europe using a number instruments such as Fender Rhodes, Hohner Clavinet, Hammond Organ, Poly and Minimoog, ARP sequencers and most importantly, a Sennheiser Vocoder VSM 201 among other various instruments. His musical influences ranged from Rick Wakeman and Keith Emerson to Kraftwerk and Steve Reich. Zeus also was involved in a very diverse roster of collaborations with such important artists as Guru Guru, members of Can as well as French space rock groups ("Les Rockets" and "Visitors").
