Best of Moog: Electronic Pop Hits from the 60's & 70's
Various Artists
Relativity, 1999
A great collection of electronic pop
+ Appreciation...
This is a wonderful set of music that may not live up to the extremely lofty title, Best of Moog. Though I can quibble about some of the records selected, I must give this collection five stars for getting this material onto CD. (A lot of people don't have record players these days.) Martin Denny's ...

Music from the Ether: Original Works for Theremin
Isidor Achron, Jorge Antunes, ...
Mode, 1999
Theremin as an instrument, not a curiosity
+ The theremin continues!
This is a great album. I particularly like Lydia Kavina's original compositions, where the Theremin is clearly the ideal instrument. Kavina's use of the Theremin is much more effective than Clara Rockmore's. While Rockmore's recordings show skill and ability, I cannot imagine anyone saying ...

The Amazing New Electronic Pop Sound of Jean Jacques Perrey
Jean-Jacques Perrey
Vanguard Records, 1996
Jean Jacques, you racques!
Bet you've never heard anything like this. I'm a theremin aficionado, and also a fan of "Switched-On Bach" and other Moog-ish music. But Perrey's bright, melodic music is among my favorite CDs (and I have hundreds). His tunes are, dare I say it, catchy and brimming with energy. The electronic sound ...

Vanguard Records, 2001
Back to the future
+ A good collection. You're not going to get popcorn, tough...
+ Cute moog madness
Ever notice how things that were made specifically to appear futuristic(like any average episode of "Star trek" for instance)end up seeming a million times more dated than anything else from that particular era? Well add this album to the list.And thats not at all a bad thing...the irony of the ...

A brilliant sampling of ambient essentials!
+ Amorphous
This is a Cd you can listen to over and over again and still discover new dimensions. Tracks by masters in the exploration of sound such as Eno, and Tangerine Dream are included with pieces from the 70's through the 90's. One of the most incredible features of this release is the excellent liner ...
