How about "The Happy Moog" featuring "the electronic super-wonder of the world" playing original hits like "March of the Martians."???? It's pretty loopy. Can anybody date this item?

Stumbled across a tape I made years ago of various electronic music, and thought I'd throw some of it out, see if it jogs any memories. These weren't your classic/pioneers like Carlos or Tomita, but they had their place. Also, I don't have most of these albums anymore, and didn't write down the details, so this is from my fuzzy memory: The Unusual Classical Synthesizer - Mike Hankinson Various Bach, Mozart, and other, on a Putney VCS-3 synth The Moog Strikes Bach... - Hans Wurman Various classical on Moog modular: Bach, Paginini, Mozart, etc. Switched-On Beatles - (something like The New World Electronic Ensemble) This is a bit sicky/poppy, but mildly enjoyable nonetheless... Switched-On Gershwin - (rats, I forget the name, did a lot of pop synth) Rhapsody in Blue is done with a real piano/pianist and synth orchestra, not real great; but the other side is stuff from Porgy and Bess, good Everything You Always Wanted To Hear On the Moog (*But Were Afraid To Ask) I forget the names of the two guys who did this, also using Moog equipment, but it's really great; several Ravel pieces, if I'm not mistaken, Malaguenua (sp?), Los Toreadors (sp?), and Bolero, which has a nice audience clapping/whistling at the end! Switched-On Joplin I barely remember this, and don't remember it being very good... Anybody besides me ever listen to any of this stuff? I'd be curious to hear/see corrections/expansions, more examples of "classic E-music", etc. _____________________________________________________________________________ Andy Moore "Your songs are sad."

If my memory serves me well, the Gershwin was "Gershwin Alive and Well and Underground", with Leonid Hambro on piano and Gershon Kingsley on synthesizer. I haven't listened to it in years, but it was good stuff... ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 26 Feb 1992 18:46:42 EST From: ronin Subject: Re: Remember When... that was 'gershwin goes underground.' its cover art was of george in an electric 'fro, executed in deco style. i loved it. -----------< Cognitive Dissonance is a 20th Century Art Form >----------- Eric Harnden (Ronin) or The American University Physics Dept. 4400 Mass.
