For anyone interested in the psychedelic children’s music movement that Bruce Haack helped develop along with Raymond Scott, or if you are interested in the early electronically laced pop works of people like Curt Boettcher, Joe Meek or Brian Wilson in the 1970s, definitely check out the mini masterpiece that is Jackpine Savage’s Together.

Bruce Haack recorded and released the Together album under the pseudonym of Jackpine Savage in 1971. Jackpine Savage is slang for someone who lives in the woods outside of a town and is sort of representative of how this album fits into the Bruce Haack discography.

Jackpine Savage’s Together album was recorded after the release of The Electric Lucifer, and around the time when he had befriended music great Raymond Scott and they were both experimenting with Scott’s electronic musical instruments.

Much more an electronic pop album than the other Bruce Haack albums released under his own name, the Jackpine Savage album Together still has a good dose of psychedelia in it, even if the whole thing is a much more laid back affair

– it’s much more an album to enjoy in the long line of electronic pop albums through the years.

The album has a much more hushed feeling to it and even when there are children’s voices here, they are the voices of a shy child for instance during Intermission who can barely speak into the microphone.

Esther Nelson’s role on this album is also less apparent, though she does appear on one of the best tracks called Touch which has a great moment when she says “Sit on the floor, cross your legs, put your hands on your knees, close your eyes and do not think” which is then followed by a good 20 seconds of silence.”
