Early Space-y Electronic Music

TechnicLePanther · 03-11-2016, 06:49 PM

I'm basically looking for a full album of this. Not experimental weirdness, but early examples of electronics being applied to pop sensibilities.

Thanks!

EDIT- Found another example:

First song is still the best though.

And here's some unsolicited experimental weirdness that's required listening

The 1956 sci-fi Forbidden Planet movie has a pretty interesting film score. It was create by Bebe and Louis Barron, true pioneers in "Space-y Electronic" music. Usually a film score contains music usually from an orchestra, and sound effects from a Foley operator/artist usually in post-production. This was one of the first (if not first) movie soundtrack that was made using electronic instruments.

You just used "usually" three times in one sentence.

Repetition can be a successful literary device, you dunce.

I don't think that's the case in this instance.

That that is something you'd notice shows that you must really enjoy that sort of linguistic flourish.
