Tommy Mandel- Music For Insomniacs

Like Mort Garson’s Plantasia or Bruce Haak’s The Electric Lucifer, Tommy Mandel’s 1984 minimalist electronic opus Music For Insomniacs is a delightful and spiritually invigorating concept album. Instead of serenading plants or summoning a war between the heavens and the underworld, Mandel’s storied private-press masterpiece catalogs the sleep cycle using synthesizers and drum machines to soundtrack the rhythms of resting, dreaming, and resetting of the body’s internal clock.
