    Bruce Haack has created, ;to the time of this record ten albums which are among the most unique teaching concepts ever devised. He writes the words, lyrics and music which he performs and engineers - mostly on elec tronic instruments he invented and built by hand!

    After having jointly produced his first album 'Dance
    Sing and Listen' with dance educator ESTHER NELSON,
    he then created 7 more albums for Dimension 5 including
    in some dance stories by Miss Nelson -whose voice is also featured along with Bruce on the albums.

    His "WAY-OUT RECORD FOR CHILDREN" (remember
    the motorcycle ridr?) was followed by 'THE ELECTRONIC
    RECORD","TOGETHER", the soulful "DANCE TO THE
    MUSIC" (which some kids call the "hand-jive record", and
    now "CAPTAIN ENTROPY". Of course his early albums
    "DANCE SING LISTEN AGAIN" AND "DANCE SING
    AND LISTEN AGAIN AND AGAIN" are established classics even though in those days he was only able to record in mono on two small home-type tape decks!

    Other recordings by BRUCE HAACK include the powerful
    documentary on DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR - read
    on recording by children and published by Scholastic Rec
    ords. His early poetic-electronic-rock album "THE ELEC
    TRIC LUCIFER" on Columbia Records CS-9991) is used
    in part in the book-record series "EXPLORING MUSIC 8"
    shed by Holt Reinhan and Winston. Along with all
    this he has created award-winning commercials for TV and
    radio, music for industrial shows and films, and co-
    authored music for Broadway and Off-Broadway plays and pop songs with PRAXITELES PANDEL - Dimension 5's music consultant.

    Loving reviews and endorsements of the art and genius of BRUCE HAACK have bean instrumental in the sharing of his works with many thousands of children, parents an d teachers nationally and in other countries. A list of people ad publications who believe in his records for children

    Burdett Publiscations. And hosts of children - some of whom
    take this record to bed.

SIDE 1

    1. Captain Entropy: a magical mystery tour of concepts of thermodynamics. As you dance to the electric jazz-rock, you will become aware that you are enacting entropy;a phenomenon in which
    energy seems to keep evening itself out—flowing from a place of
    greater to a place of lesser concentration.

    2. Army Ants in Your Pants: a chance to belly-dance
    while you learn some pretty heavy things about the social structure and group communication of certain insects. Very funnyf

    3. Music: an early soul-beat plus electronic "strings gives a space-capsule insight intowhere mu-sic is really at. Believe it or not people used to scrape strands of animal tissue with hair from a horse's tail to make it.

    4. Mallangong: a personally guided tour by Mallangong itself (mediumized and voiced by Bruce Haack). What's a Mallangong? Ever hear of a Therasp??

    SIDE 2

         1. The Universal Unicycle Show (pedal it): here Bruce Haack and one of his electronic-voiced selves
    gives you a chance to really exercise your body
    and head and maybe even turn your wheels a little.

    2. Walking Eagle: precious insight into a religious experience Bruce Haack shared as a youth with Indians of Western Canadawith his friend Walking Eagle great chief of the Stony.

    3. The American Eagle: unusually known facts about the great bird of America and another plea for preservation of species by ecologically-headed Bruce Haack. Set to an irresistible beat.

    4. Metric Conversion: a humorous chant to immediately teach you basics of the metric system, its origin. and origins of other measuring systems.
    Instead of using a foot or a yard the metric system is just as hard.

    5. Catfish wow. Catfish has a way of zapping things by an extended sense of touch. And it can taste
    with its lips and its behind. And the male
    holds each egg in his mouth as it incubates. Set
    to an electro-rock version of the old folk tune
    "the blue tailed fly". Delicious.
