Songs/Adverts that are similar to the Societas X tape

Fri Nov 22, 2024 4:49 pm

I've been playing this song "Radiance" by a group called Oppenheimer Analysis on repeat for a while. I definitely think it could've been a song on the Societas X tape. I kinda wanted to start a thread where people could post other obscure electronic/psychadelia tunes, and also maybe some interesting interstitials like they did on the tape. Let me know your thoughts!

Although it’s probably too well known to appear on a mix like Societas X, the song Filthy Habits by Frank Zappa has a similar feel to Vulcun Mind Probe by George Duke.

Given that Duke left Zappa’s band in ‘76 and these tracks came out in ‘78 & ‘79, I do wonder if one may have been a tribute to the other.

Glad that you bring this up actually, even if it is off topic (sorry OP). It is not entirely impossible that they haven't collaborated again. I have a theory that Duke, Zappa and some other big shots released stuff under an alias due to contractual obligations with their respective labels at the time, later 70s.

Amount of non existing people credited throughout the releases on this label is really something. Marcus Duke sounds exactly like George.
