New York synth magician Tommy Mandel has an astonishing career as a composer, sideman and electronic pop artist. Since the late 1970s, he has toured or recorded with a laundry list of talents including Todd Rundgren, The Clash, The B-52s, Tina Turner, Cyndi Lauper and countless others. Here comes a reissue from his 1984 private press cassette, 'Music For Insomniacs'. Recorded on a four-track recorder, each of the album's eight songs is inspired by a wave of sleep.
