I guess it was a guy called Gershon Kingsley (sp?), ca. 1972. He worked
on many early Moog synthesizer releases, mostly cheesy Moog covers from
the hits of the day. Then he collaborated in the sixties with a Frechman
called Perrey, as Kingsley-Perrey, and some of their stuff has been
re-released on CD. If you need to know more, check the 'Incredibly Strange
Music' books in the Re/Search publication series. Most hilarious stuff, IMO.
And now back to our normal IDM trainspotting schedule... :)
