Kaleidoscopic Vibrations: Electronic Pop Music from Way Out

LA RECENSIONE

Anyone approaching this work is requested to set aside seriousness, intellectualism, and musical critic aspirations.

Kaleidoscopic Vibrations: Electronic Pop Music from Way Out is an album to listen to with lightness, without nitpicking. For genre enthusiasts, one could talk about Space Age Pop, Musak, and Techno-Pop. In reality, this work is just an excuse to test the possibilities of two revolutionary pieces of equipment for the time: the Moog Synthesizer and the Jenny Ondioline. And so, from cover to cover, we listen to famous tracks, some marked by a certain allure of sacredness (Moon River, Strangers in the Night, Mas Que Nada) that alternate with the original compositions of the duo, featuring zany moments (Third Man Theme, for example), naïve (Winchester Cathedral) or simply bewildering (the mentioned Mas Que Nada, in an incredible Space Age Pop version!).

To immerse yourself in the listening of this album, it is necessary to free yourself from prejudice, have a good sense of humor, and not take yourself seriously. All good things, right?
