Digging way back now, our own RetroMC found this little doozy of an album over at DinosaurGardens.com.
The album is described as: "Conquer the Video Craze was issued in 1982, at the height of arcade games’ popularity. Over a background of ambient arcade noise, Curtis Hoard, “Atari Champion finalist”, reads convoluted game tips in a slow nasal monotone." Anybody know more about Curtis Hoard? Apparently there's not a lot of info out there on him, but he does sound like someone who was influential at the rise of Video Games. Lot's of chatter over there discussing how several different parts of this album have been sampled by other artists. Head on over for a listen.
