Audion opens with "Orbit Five," layering melodic runs and chords over percussion for a very progressive-rock result. "Terminal Hotel," a slow, heavily rhythmic piece with an atmospheric opening, is full of the cinematic drama that Synergy is famous for. There are several orchestral-sounding pieces as well, making one wonder what would happen if, for instance, the London Symphony took on the anthemic "After the Earthquake," the classically structured "Falcons and Eagles," or "Flight of the Looking Glass," which mixes classical and pop sensibilities. Knowing that Audion was originally recorded before the age of digital synthesis makes the results all the more impressive. --Genevieve Williams ## Images ![Audion - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51H328G404L._SL500_.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ And I still love it! *by W***. on March 22, 2017* this was actually a replacement for me as I had this decades ago on cassette tape. And I still love it! ### ⭐⭐ I was starving for more timbre variety. . . *by L***3 on March 6, 2008* Electronic Realizations is one of my very favorite albums of all time. Sequencer, Cords, and Games have also been much-listened to CDs that I have had in my collection for years. I stopped there--over a decade and a half ago I remember listening to Audion and not liking it so I never added it to my collection.Recently, I have been adding immensely to my music collection and have been going back to discs that I rejected before to see if my tastes had changed with age. Taking another look at Synergy, I decided to give Audion another go. The first track sounded interesting, so I decided to keep on listening. I soon became bored and came to the conclusion all over again that I didn't like it. I listened to it again several times, listening to certain tracks, skipping around, and generally trying to get a better feeling for the album. Maybe it would grow on me--I had to stay with it. No matter how many times or chances I gave it, however, did it begin to sound any better. It seemed so monotonous, like he kept using the same settings on his synths over and over. The same synthesized beat sound, the same rapid high-frequency scales, and the same sort of feeling repeated constantly through the album.Frustrated, I immediately switched to Cords, and I felt like I got splashed in the face with cool water. Cords also has a number of repeating themes, but the variety of timbres was so much wider. There was a full spectrum of sound and melodies being used. In Audion, the palette seemed just so limited.I'm a huge Synergy fan and love the work of Larry Fast, but this one, in my opinion, just falls flat. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Closer to rock... *by A***P on April 1, 2000* Perhaps under the influence of Peter Gabriel (for whom he played keyboards), Larry Fast toned down his grand orchestral sweeps and focused on more succinct rock arrangements for this CD. The results were generally good, especially on the almost-heavy-metal "Revolt on L-5" and the more laid-back "Terminal Hotel." The most prominent sound on both of these tracks is the insistent electric percussion, which sounds like a rock drum set more than anything else. The grand approach is still evident on a few songs, especially "Electric Blue" (which goes on a bit long) and "Flight of the Looking Glass," which sounds like an outtake from one of Fast's earlier CD's (not that that is a slur). After this, the exoticism of "Shibolet" is another refreshing change. My favorite track, however, is the opener "Orbit Five," a wonderfully brief study that is like a haiku or a clever epigram. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kr/products/140230383-audion](https://www.desertcart.kr/products/140230383-audion) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Korea* *Store origin: KR* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
