Anyone who is into Raymond Scott at all, should DEFINITELY check out
Manhattan Research Inc. I just picked it up today and so far its pretty
incredible. Not only does it include 2 CDs of unreleased Scott material
from the 50's and 60's, but it also includes a 144 page mini-book covering
all sorts of parts of his career including his many electronic musical
instruments/machines, collaborations with Jim Henson, and interviews with
Bob Moog. Damn this shit is cool!!!!
I'd have to completely agree with Ken. This material is a big precursor to
a lot of electronic music today and it has held up incredibly well.
Included on the discs are also a lot of commercial jingles and soundtracks
that Raymond Scott did. Perhaps this explains why we find DnB fluff in
commercials all over the place today. Electronic music has always had a
place in commercials!
Just kidding, lets not extend that idea any further than this post.
