musical geekery...

reichmarshall posted about a little analog synthesizer device that I reposted over in loeg...

...but the incredibly cool thing that he posted about was MANHATTAN RESEARCH, INC. It's a 2-CD collection of early electronic music by Raymond Scott.

Already ordered it. Can't wait to hear it.

Wish I'd known you were interested. I've got a copy right here... Interesting historical artifact. Not something I'd put on as background music.

Neither is the Gershon Kingsley. Early 70's synthesized covers of Yiddish folk tunes are pretty weird, but electronic compositions for Shabbat services (with a gospel choir as backing singers) take the cake.
