The Electric Lucifer is an album by
Bruce Haack combining
acid rock and electronic sounds.
AllMusic describes it as "a psychedelic, anti-war
song cycle about the battle between heaven and hell."[2] Haack used a
Moog synthesizer and his own home-built electronics, including an early prototype
vocoder. It was originally released on LP in 1970 and has been re-mastered and re-released on CD several times. The 2007 Omni Records CD release included a radio interview from 1970 and an alternate version of "Electric to Me Turn" as a bonus track. "Song of the Death Machine" and "Word Game" both feature vocals by
Chris Kachulis. The lyrics mention concepts such as "powerlove" — a force so strong and good that it will not only save mankind but Lucifer himself.
