Under the Akron moniker stands one man bringing together all his influences from instrumental music from the '50s to the '70s: classic exotica by Martin Denny and Les Baxter, the proto-electronic sounds of Delia Derbyshire and Mort Garson, all kinds of soundtracks (from TV series like The Twilight Zone and Thunderbirds to Italian giallos), the work of unclassifiable artists such as Moondog and Sun Ra... And all of it filtered through Joe Meek's productions. Free from any scene or genre constraints, Akron manages to combine all these sounds in a unique and totally personal way. Voyage of Exploration, his debut album, takes us on a trip across different worlds, as if we were onboard the Enterprise and there were a new tune waiting for us on each planet.
