Experimental Products were an electronic group. Founded in 1982 by Mark Wilde and Michael Gross, they were a Philadelphia-based group.[1]
Career
Experimental Products self-produced the album Prototype in 1982. While it would be their only full album, they released the 2 EPs- Glowing In The Dark in 1984, and Experiment! in 1987. "Glowing" proved irresistible to DJs and became a 1985 dance club chart breakthrough. Today, many DJs and collectors consider it a "classic" synth record.[2] Little else is known about the group other than that they grew to 4 members by 1987. Founding member Mark Wilde died in 1987.
After Wilde's Death
They have no further releases, although 2 compilation albums have been released by Vinyl On Demand. Vinyl On Demand also reissued the album Prototype as a double LP with bonus tracks in 2008. The original version of the album currently sells online for as much at $500.
