Anyone know this album? Played it today. It's early (late 60s) electronic / musique concrete - way ahead of its time. The first side is songs with some extremely haunting melodies. Very beautiful. The arrangements are really cool though - lots of weird sounds, depth and strangeness.
Side 2 is where it goes very avant garde - almost Chrome Plated Megaphone type stuff with lots of heavy piano reverb. Last track is just terrifying - like straight out of a nightmare. UZ Heresie level tension.
I've just discovered that a couple people who made this worked in the BBC Radiophonics Workshop which produced the Dr Who theme song and audio effects such as the Dalek voices and TARDIS noise. I geeked out pretty hard over that. :-) And they did it for FUN which I think is pretty cool!!
