- Giorgio Moroder's E = mc2: "First electronic live-to-digital album", is dubbed under the album title. Yeah! Well, I'm not quite sure it made a big difference, although I'm sure whoever wrote the nonesense on the back cover about computer+human collaboration and the merging of digital technology and human creativity, must have been high on something illegal and probably synthetic... Giorgio Moroder obviously had a lot of fun playing with his synthesizers and vocoders, because that's what this album is all about.
Great tracks remain: "I Wanna Rock You" is a classic; "In My Wildest Dreams" is also worth noting.
DiscoMusic.com adds:
From the back cover:
E = mc2
Music programmed as
bursts of energy.
Energy coded numerically
to micro-computers.
Recorded by digital
process and edited by
computer. Energy is
once again reproduced
as music. Without
distortion and noise.
Approaching pure sound.
E = mc2 is a revolutionary
human + computer
collaboration. Live
performance involves
25 computerized
synthesizers. 4
computerized pianos.
3 micro-computers.
Drums and electronic
percussion. Vocals.
Instruments are
synch-locked to digital
reference tone or
external clock which
acts as electronic
conductor's baton.
Ultimately, digital
technology and human
creativity merge in live
concert. E = mc2 is finally
a complicated way of
comprehending energy...
Simply. Understanding
ultra-scientific
language of digital
process is...
unnecessary. The future
can best be understood
with the ear and felt
with the body. After all is said: we speak
of music.

I remember that every track would get played on the radio - Sidelong medleys were still the rage ; and people couldn't get enough of this album.
IF YOU WERE NOT AFRAID still gives me chills...
