Perrey & Kingsley

The Profile

Perrey & Kingsley were a 1960s electronic-music duo (Jean-Jacques Perrey and Gershon Kingsley) known for pioneering use of the Moog synthesizer and the Ondioline and for space-age pop recordings.

The duo experimented with early electronic instruments (notably the Moog and the Ondioline). Their music is associated with space-age pop; their composition "Baroque Hoedown" by Perrey & Kingsley became widely known for its use in Disney's Main Street Electrical Parade.

The review advises listening with lightness: the album showcases experiments with the Moog and the Jenny Ondioline, mixing famous covers and original eccentric pieces. The writer awards a 3/5 and recommends not taking it too seriously.
