    In looking back at this pre-MIDI era and considering where we are now, staggeringly obvious become the true effects of Dr. Robert Moog's lifelong efforts to make electronic music more accessible.

    As ever with compilations of almost-lost treasures such as this, it is the certain out of time quality that is its greatest attribute.

    There is an introspective quality to Personal Space.

    There's a paragraph of informative text for each track, along with sleeve and label scans, to place all of this enjoyable oddness into some kind of context.

    As an insight to a world within a world of black American music, Personal Space elicits interest. As a compilation, it fails to sustain it very long.
