![]() Moog! |
Claude Denjean demonstrates his Moog skills on this Phase 4 Stereo Spectacular.
Some guys take a traditional record, throw in a few notes from their Moog Synthesizer, and call it a Moog album. Not Claude Denjean. The Moog takes center stage in this 1970 London Records release, in all its raw beauty. Electronic music never quite "made it" into mainstream culture -- that's probably because it took so much work to produce these albums. For all its wizardry, the mainframe-sized Moog could only produce one sound at a time. Artists like Claude Denjean recorded track after track, probably sitting up late into the night hunched over Moog keyboards and sixteen-track tape machines. Sounds like these might seem ordinary in today's world of digital sound manipulation, but I try to imagine how radical and exciting the Moog must have seemed in the 60's and 70's before everyone had MIDI cards and polyphonic Korg synthesizers. |

says: A schoolfriend of my had this record in (I think) 1970. In the years thereafter I bought Switched on Back 1 and 2, The Weltempered Synthesizer, a similar kind of album of Hans Wurman, and of course Vangelis, Tomita, Kitaro......I still have al those vinyl record, in very good condition. Once in a while I make a CD of them, using Audacity, and remove the clicks with ClickRepair. Great to listen to in my car, for my wife doesn't like this music. I am also a Mellotron fan. (11-12-2009)
