RaymondScott.com is accepting pre-orders for MANHATTAN RESEARCH
INC.
(Basta Records 3090782), the long-awaited release of RAYMOND SCOTT's
1950s/60s
pioneering electronica. MANHATTAN RESEARCH INC. is a 2-CD, 69-track
edition
featuring over two hours of Scott's previously unreleased electronic
wizardry,
packaged in a 144-page, full-color, hard-bound book.
MANHATTAN RESEARCH INC. features music machines designed & built
by
Raymond Scott, such as the Electronium, Clavivox, Circle Machine (early
'sequencer'), Bandito the Bongo Artist (early 'drum machine'), and more.
The
album includes "non-kiddie" collaborations with pre-Muppet-era JIM
HENSON. The
book features interviews with those who knew and worked with Scott,
including
Moog synthesizer inventor ROBERT MOOG, along with countless previously
unseen
photos, lab notes, US patents, and scrapbook items.

''Raymond Scott's electronic work had been long out of print, but the
pieces
of music on MANHATTAN RESEARCH INC., recorded in the fifties and
sixties, sound
like nothing so much as the future.''
-P. Buck, R.E.M.
''MANHATTAN RESEARCH INC. is truly an inspiring album. Very well
compiled
and presented, it gives you a good look at Raymond Scott's great work
which has
many repercussions in various fields relating to sound. Scientific,
futuristic,
novel, as well as humorous and dreamlike. Mad, but the kind of mad I
aspire to
be. Raymond Scott truly was ahead of his time.''
-Keigo, a.k.a. CORNELIUS
''MANHATTAN RESEARCH INC. is a brilliant collection of Raymond
Scott's
difficult-to-find electronic work. I love the packaging, and the
interviews
are incredibly interesting and informative.''
-A. Utley, PORTISHEAD
''The MANHATTAN RESEARCH INC. package is perfect -- and the music is
too
perfect!''
-Y. Konishi, PIZZICATO FIVE
''Tireless dedication and uncompromising perfectionism is evident in
every
detail of this wonderful collection. From the astonishing sounds to the
beautiful packaging, MANHATTAN RESEARCH INC. is an essential release of
pioneer
electronica, adding yet another page to the ever-growing legacy of
American
maverick Raymond Scott.''
-JOHN ZORN
''I rate Raymond Scott as one of the greatest music technology
innovators
the 20th century. Many musicians on the charts today are using his
ideas
fairly directly. His vision was so wide, that today it is impossible to
turn
on a piece of equipment in your studio without automatically issuing a
benediction to the spirit of Raymond Scott.''
-M. Black, COLDCUT
