Zygoat

According to the DeBaser review, Zygoat is the stage name of Burt Alcantara and the author of a 1974 instrumental album credited as an early example of Progressive Electronic; the record is built from ARP and RSE synthesizers and released on Polydor.

Collaborators mentioned in the review: Brian Hodgson and Dudley Simpson (performing on ARP and RSE synths). The studio name cited in the review is Electrophon. The review states the album was released on Polydor and that Zygoat later formed an instrumental group called Napalis which recorded one self-titled album.

Zygoat's self-titled album is presented as an early, pioneering example of Progressive Electronic. The record is instrumental, dominated by ARP and RSE synth textures with no percussion. The review frames it as a hypnotic, cult favorite that rewards listeners who appreciate abstract, dreamy electronic soundscapes.
