Hot Butter is really Steve Free, who had been a member of the First Moog Quartette. Synths were a fairly new thing, and instrumental albums like this enjoyed a bit of success. Which is where the song Popcorn comes in to the picture, as it was actually a hit. Free lifted the song from it's composer and fellow First Moog Quartette member, Gershon Kingsley. I know the song mainly from being in public school in the early 80's, where they would use it as accompaniment to a stupid dance they'd occasionally make us do in P.E. Still, it's stands as an example of early synth pop music.
Figured I'd use this blog to catalogue my record collection. I'll be providing some technical information on the albums as well as my thoughts. My collection is non-genre specific. I keep the bulk of them alphabetized by Artist. However, I also maintain a section I refer to as the esoteric field, which contains unusual records, and artists I wouldn't remember the name of if they weren't in this category. The Classical and Compilation albums are also in separate sections.
