A Second of Time

One of America's first electronic new wave bands, The UNITS are widely cited as pioneers of a genre now known as "synthpunk." The song “A Second of Time” is available on the 16 song album "UNITS - Demos 1977 - 1978" released in 2022. You can get the digital album on the UNITS Bandcamp page at:
units-scottryser.bandcamp.com
There is also a limited edition 12” vinyl LP available on the MINIMALKOMBINAT label at: / 2208128859484635
"UNITS - Demos 1977 - 1978" was recorded on a 2 track reel to reel tape deck in Scott Ryser's bedroom/studio. Some of the songs made it to a cassette tape demo called "Noise Generator" in 1978.
The original UNITS (on this recording), Scott Ryser, Tim Ennis and Brad Saunders, all went to high school together in Redding, California before moving to San Francisco in the ‘70s, soon after graduating from high school.

I grew up in Tasmania, Australia, obsessively listening to the 'Digital Stimulation' LP when I was 12. Only just now rediscovered it on CZcams, and my mind is blown away from the memories flooding back! Seriously, thank you so much for creating this amazing music. I'll forever miss those early 80's days filled with truly experimental & fresh raw sounds. I'll sleep tonight with the returned sound of 'Units' in my brain again! (Bliss)

I love it! Pre real drummer days. Or is that a real drummer? The description says there’s a drummer. I love how genuine it sounds. Not some over produced garbage.

It's definitely a drum machine, sounds like a Korg KR 55
