jazzy_daveA couple of tracks from that "Watch The Closing Doors" double CD compilation -
Raymond Scott - Ripples
Raymond Scott is sort of like America's Daphne Oram of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, in terms of combining both commercial and avant-garde approaches in the heroic era of electronic music. Scott's work is more ephemeral and formalistic -- and overall less compelling -- than Oram's, who managed to compose truly organic sounding pieces of work, but he occasionally was able to create pieces that were more than the sum of their parts, as on this buggy musique-concrète exercise. This is off of the second disc of a 2 disc compilation of Scott's work (Manhattan Research Inc.) issued in 2000 which I also have in my collection. Bought from MVE Notting Hill some time ago for £4.
The Five Satins - In The Still Of The Night
Enjoy.
