The full title was "White Noise II - Concerto For Synthesizer by David
Vorhaus"

The 3rd album, "Re-Entry", came out in 1980, & I quite like it (bought the
2nd one after, but probably only heard it once or twice?). "Re-Entry" is
more in the style of Larry Fast's Synergy albums, & had one track in
particular, "Time Traveller", that would make a great replacement theme for
"Doctor Who".

I believe there is also a fourth album (and maybe even fifth?)
