Nik Pascal

This interesting artist was active in the '70s before selling off all his synthesizer gear to Steve Roach, a former racing car driver who became known as an electronic music performer in his own right. Often credited in various combinations of the names Nik Raicevic and Nik Pascal, he made one of his earliest albums on the Buddah label as simply Head, attempting to cash in on the psychedelic drug culture by naming his extended synthesizer noodlings after illegal drugs such as "Cannabis Sativa" -- worth a 17-minute album track, no less.
