Description
Amebas in Love, a cassette-only effort, is the debut album by the American singer and songwriter Marc Plainguet, self-released on Corpqii Music in 1986. All music and text written, produced, and performed by Marc Plainguet.
All music was performed on a Casio MT-100, Roland SH-101, Boss DR-110 Drum Machine, Boss CE-3 Chorus, Boss DD-2 Digital Delay and recorded on a Fostex X-15 4-track between 6/14/86 and 6/28/86.
This is where is all started for Marc Plainguet and Corpqii Music. Well, as far as I can tell. The sound is what you would expect from Plainguet – quirky, trippy experimental electronic music that takes a sarcastic look at the ironies of modern life (as of 1986) through a Christian lens. Many people felt Marc was outside of mainstream Christianity in his lyrics. Sometimes that is true, but at many other times this is not the case. It all depends on where your beliefs fall, of course. This tape seemed to set the standard and style for dozens of future experimental underground electronic Christian releases to follow. This was followed by World Media (also in 1986) and then the compilation Demovision (again in 1986). [Christian Tape Underground, December 4, 2018]
