Notes: Some may find it surprising that a "Programmer" is
credited on this album considering that it was released in 1969. The
Moog Synthesizer was employed here along with the Maestro Rhythmaster
(an early drum machine) to record tunes by The Beatles, Booker T & the
MGs, James Brown, Joni Mitchell and more. As the cover photos will
attest, analog synths were no walk in the park. You didn't stroll up,
select "flute" from the drop down menu on the display and proceed to
make with the flute music. Oh no, gentle reader. This was work for the
engineers, the brain trust, the geeks. Patching the various wave
shapers, oscillators and such took an inordinate amount of involvement.
But I'm glad someone took it upon themselves to do it for us. The cover
art has one foot in the Aquarian age and one in the space age. Very
cool daddy-O. In a delightfully cheesy way, of course. |
