Curious Music is pleased to announce the MP3 release of Charles Ditto’s 1987 debut album In Human Terms. The album’s soundscapes transcend the MIDI-centric mid-80s stylistic cul-de-sac and is one of those purely electronic records that bristles with warmth, humanity and humor. Described in a contemporary review as “nootropic pop minimalism,” this charming, little masterpiece traverses the terrain between electronic pop, brooding abstraction and points in between, making for a curious and alluring journey.

All instruments by ditto, except Richard Hardy hardy: sax on 'western' and 'basso continuo', Terri Ditto: bass steel drum on 'basso continuo', and John Hill: Fredericksburg cicadas on 'slave waltz'; recorded at Loma Ranch Studio (John Hill, engineer), Fredericksburg, Texas, 1987. All music published by Ditto Records/Human Symphony Music, BMI.
