Acid house from 1958 ... Tom dissevelt & Kid Baltan ( Dick Raaijmakers ) syncopation

[cominroitover80]

and they said electronic music started with kraftwerk.

HAHAHAHAHA!

[svoksis]

I'm in the weird part of YouTube again

[OfficialAerodynamic]

sounds like mr oizo

[philward53]

This isn't unique.... there's Stockhausen from the same period, for example.

[MrSuperdan79]

We Are The Robots!!

[1594615]

0:57 loop would make a good detroit techno track

[Jer0mmel]

pretty kewl

[Kiste1993]

a beat edit and this would be a hardcore track! wow 1958 - i cant believe it!!

[raceyboy]

You could buy this at gas stations in the 50's.

[riseup20twelve]

I'll bet Rm 306 didn't have any windows

[ELMAGODAVE79]

holy ahead-of-its-time-sound-poetry batman!!!

[savagemnml]

Back to the future with you.

[enoxyd]

thanks indeed



[nyok443]

whoa!!!! I can't believe this!

[mekydro]

Superb - and 30 years ahead, as you say. I have loved electronic music ever since i can remember

[illuminatiperspectiv]

cool but title misleading there is no acid or house elements at all here....but still freaking awesome!!!

[mikaelodoris]

The first 40 seconds remind me of Herbie Hancocks Album Sextant from 1973.

[econoroller]

Bruce Haack would have loved this!!!

[Veggis92]

I can't stopping to think of the super mario underworld theme when listening to this.

[RalfsLab]

I love this. Why did rock 'n roll make such a big splash and not this?

[n64wilbert]

@RalfsLab Hank Williams,T-Bone Walker, and Perez Prado already created Rock n Roll in the Late-1940s that indicates that this musical track is the most revolutionary in the 1950s!!!

[nyanmiaw]

No wonder this didn't catch on, it's to far ahead of its time, but I like it

[andmaketherain]

Music of the Future...

[youtubbs67]

What the heck? How was this not popular during this time but Paul Anka was?

[paulbrockenhagen]

Gray matter Orgasm11

[shockinglux2]

realmente great!!!



[wagsouza]

NICE TRACK BUT THIS IS NOT ACID HOUSE.

[jproctor1978]

mental mate... you could whack this in any deep house set no probs... watch everyone go mental.. lol .. 1958.. fkin heck man!

[Toreador981]

I must say I find this far more listenable and interesting than virtually any so-called pioneering house/techno etc. I've been exploring on here from the 80s/90s/00s

[n01serX]

cristodiddio, spettacolare!!!!

[HerrFOAD]

aw man am oot ma tits this is pumpin !!YEEEEEHHAAA

[SwedxSimon02]

0:17 - 0:41does sound acid house-y, the rest of the song is not really impressive

[wagnerstars]

pure vanguard, and it seems so current

[waveshaper4]

Sampled in "I Want to Relax, Please!" by Towa Tei

[cometothesabbat]

This is Vibration, not Syncopation. I have this 7 inch too:)

[wagsouza]

GOOD SOUND !!!

[aladdintrips]

if only it had cought up then in 1958.... we would be lucky enough to have been done with techno and electronica by today.. amazing document still

[diskochimp]

Sounds like AFX.

[skabbymuff111]

OMG!! YOU SEE THE KRAFTWERK CONNECTIONS! I LOVE MAKING SENSE OF HISTORY

[kosni84]

mental

[kosni84]

supermario sound hahaha!!

[kless001]

This is excellent and haunting. It's truly amazing what human beings can do.

[AIKevorkian]

I am so amazed with this! Leave it to the Dutch; they were always light years ahead of the rest of the world! Now if only New Orleans was colonised by the Dutch instead of the French... "If you're going to build a city that is slightly below sea level..."

[RalfsLab]

@AIKevorkian I think you're right. I make experimental electronic music and I'm from Louisiana. Strangely,in the rare incident when some one buys my CD it's usually some one from the Netherlands.

[smittsteve04]

wow this thing had a record deal too....i think i'm gonna play some samples of it and see what i can come up with.

[Gnarleypunkdude]

U KNOW HOW LONG THIS MUST HAVE TAKIN TO MAKE?

[fuelyournews]

W0W "popular" electronic music // TIME WAY AHEAD!! \\ Tom dissevelt & Kid Baltan ( Dick Raaijmakers ) syncopation !!! THNX K!D !!! PRE-PRE-KRAFTWERK

[humanflyyyy]

Some parts remind me of the soundtrack to TRON.

[zwerty007]

Absolutely awesome

[engineofdoom]

Another finely attenuated INTONARUMORON pick.

intonarumorondotwordpressdotco­m/

[NoCutCard612]

Wow! To say they were ahead of their time is an understatement in the extreme.

[n64wilbert]

WOW!!! It's sounds like it was made in the 70s.

[TackyRackyComixNEO]

This totally needs to be in the soundtrack of some art house film or something.

[nembutals]

WHAT THE FUUUUUCK

[Dimo006]

This lends credibility to the existence of time travelers, imo

[raceyboy]

@Dimo006 No, we just de-evolved.

[josblomsma]

Heftig!



[VerninTheRat]

Very interesting history regarding the track. I had no idea in the slightest that this kind of sound was being produced as early as 1958. And actually, it's surprised me by being so compelling and inventive.

[SinReality420]

@VerninTheRat right this is the basis for all new music comin out today

[VerninTheRat]

@SinReality420 Beiber uses the same techniques yes.

[beatles5445]

this shit is weeeeird.

[DeliciousJay]

this is nothing like acid house but still cool.

[Tennisers]

Awesome.

[r0yalgate]

neat neat neat

[softhaus]

what do you mean House??? and Acid??? come on. please.

[r0yalgate]

LUV

[HardbeatAcolyte]

This is good :)

[figgaman]

I swear at one point I heard a cheevopop

[X0RX1]

Super Mario Mushroom Sound at 0:41

[CityPulseMusic]

@X0RX1 hahahah how did you notice that? xD

[X0RX1]

@CityPulseMusic Dunno, it was the first thing that popped into my mind :D

[CityPulseMusic]

@CityPulseMusic dude, beastly ears man. HAAHA

[n64wilbert]

@X0RX1 It's sounds like the Super Mario 64 tone!!

[samnoper123]

Whudifuh.

[yeahyeahyaha2]

Fucking brilliant

[LySeRgIa2]

THIS WAS MADE IN 1958 0_0 WTF! Fucking genius man...

[dirtycomment]

wheres the 303?

[Conkern65]

Aphex Twin was Influenced by this

[sergeantbatman]

I'm probably going to be rated down for this but,

ACIEED

[Ocarina654]

Brilliant!

[Wrathmont313]

Hold shit, this is like real, good music. I bet in those days it sounded like nonsense. Kind of like first listening to Animal Collective (which I credit for devirginizing my ears to this kind of stuff).

[pattio666]

@Wrathmont313 Oh cute!! You're the younger people. My ears were de-virginized by The Residents and Kraftwerk. Good stuff!

[MrMibbles]

@pattio666 I just learned about Kraftwerk about a week ago. They are fantastic, hardly any electronic musicians today can rival the ablum Autobahn.

[pattio666]

@MrMibbles Listen to Autoban on the wrong speed. Quality entertainment with a bong... or even a beer.

[MrMibbles]

@pattio666 That is an interesting idea(especially the part about the bong), and i'll try it. Any recommendations on what speed I should play it at would be greatly appreciated.

[pattio666]

@pattio666 If you get a chance, listen the Autoban on the wrong speed. Good stuff.

[MsReeReeChiq]

This is so beautiful. I am nearly rendered speechless.

[SnypaStudios]

TRIP!

[xreddragonx]

Reminds me more of early industrial or Kraftwerk/The Normal esque synthpop than House music. Whatever it is, it was miraculous to be conceived in 1958.

[SerialKiller1986]

I swear , if someone told me that this was made in the late1970's or early 1980's , I would've believed him !

[Morboxx]

Whoa, absolutely amazing! Reminds me a bit of the Lost Highway soundtrack...

[seroyer2]

Nobody ever herd this music in 1958 because those that did all died of brain hemorrhaging.

[windowlicker1]

@seroyer2 HAHAHAH

[Joosshh3]

what the fuckkkkkk

[RichardKleiner]

This video was full of win then, and it's full of win now.

[LeBuav]

definitely sampling this mother 'ucker.

[mtsn]

amazing, thanks Cracked.

[linux750]

the beginning of this track (0:00- 0:41) was pretty nice. it had a nice beat and good rhythm. it's too bad (for me) that the rest of the song seems to abandon that initially good rhythm for a collage of random sounds as most house music tends to do.

[bobistrumpet]

Cracked!!

[MrOxidizer]

this is just craaazy!!!

[ClaudiaJAJAHAHA]

The song, the cover art on the record. Just perfect.

[cosmokramer1987]

Found this long before Cracked, glad they found it.

[zeester09]

Cracked

[clusterfuck667]

this was released in 1957 in mono actually on song of the second moon as far as i can see, think it was remastered in 61 to stereo from anecdotal evidence.

[jazzswing88]

yep i'm very interested in this russian '40 electronic music... never heard of it.

[JEANBRUCE1991]

AMMAZING !!!

[losteffekt]

back in 1959 this must have sounded incredibly far out, I'm sure few knew how to even appreciate it. I've also heard some ultra rare electro tracks from the 40's produced in Russia.

[missbud01]

@losteffekt May I ask what to look for to find some 40's Russian electro tracks?

[LHUPA]

Truly awesome! Please, post the entire EP... It's too good! That's sounds like Perry-Kingsley. It would be mixed to a 2011 DJ mix and get a full HIT! Retro is far the best music!

[mauricevanmourik1982]

And lots more fantastic stuff was invented by philips, many many years before "surround" was invented , Philips started with "Ambifonics" multi channel sound.

The notes in this record were generated with reel2reel players , by variations in speed.

More speed/pitch made the tones higher.

[livershot]

Well they did have LSD in the 50's

This does eerily sound like some acid patterns, but then the organs come in. Somebody get Hawtin to remix

[clusterfuck667]

@livershot oh please no! dont get that twat hawtin to ruin this! viberts already done a mix of this, and everyone who knows anything about music has sampled the fuk out of it.

[Myrskism]

awesome!

[areyoureceivingme]

First heard Tom in the brilliant '60s film Georgie Girl. Georgie had the kids in her class going mad to this!

[italokid80]

Is not "Acid-House"(-80's to early 90's), maybe electronic jazz. Listen also some soundracks in the 60's movies, S.F.'s

[pannoni1]

Sorry '80s fans, this truly proves that the '50s had the best music. THE GOOD OLD, GOOD TIME DAYS!

[robchalfen]

the last theme seems derived from Monk's "Evidence"

future echoes include Sun Ra, "Degi Degi" from Don Cherry's "Brown Rice" album, Terry Riley & Kraftwerke

[sabalouie2000]

and then I was born...good stuff, thanx 4 this post!!

[CarmineKoala]

1:35 metroid title theme

[waldolala1964]

Moreover, did Piero Umiliani knew this music? I really wonder - listen for example officina stellare. Or other compilations

[waldolala1964]

Yes it is, far more complex,

it was recycled by Radio 100 (nowadays dfm radio) in the nineties

[seeahork]

This music is simply fascinating. With its true magic! Incredible how old it is, that's where this magic comes from I guess...

[Thizone]

DJ Food sampled this song

[robchalfen]

Rocket No. 9! that nihilist boogie woogie got me in a spin...

[radiootoo]

Acid House is BASE CRIB compared to this!

[zeroair4]

This is better than most industrial today.  Originality is gone :(

[hydroscope]

i have a 4 disc boxset Dirk Raaijmakers stuff from eindhoven. it's incredible!

[kpingvin]

In Hungary the "Song of the second moon" has been the title music of a scientific programme on tv since the 60s (I guess), so everybody knows that in the whole country :)

[fec555]

@kpingvin delta ftw :)

[DrMerkwuerdichliebe]

great, and great to post it. bedankt hoor.

[kosmasolarius]

brilliant

[chrisantonis1]

To mention, Kid Baltan in reverse is Natlab Dik, Natlab is the Philips laboraty in Eindhoven. To mention Philips invents!!! music cassette and CD where in fact inventions from Holland!!

[Fudoh101]

Very cool

[postatility]

Someone help me!! Which is the Herbie Hancock track(70's)that the "drips"that begin the tune sound something like this?

[portabletiger]

@postatility Is it possibly "Rain Dance" from SEXTANT?

[punos909]

Reminds me of Sonic the Hedgehog sound effects. =D

[satyros2]

masterpiece!!!!

thx for this!

[soyaboy]

sampled by 2 lone swordsmen for "C.T.M." if i'm not mistaken....

[4stardust]

thanks for sharing these nice sounds

[holdenclaudfield]

hahahaha phillips music is fun

[Snownjeriu]

WOW!

[Snownjeriu]

WOW!!!

[Thunderdome616]

lol, now this is the REAL old skool!

[JDEGASx]

but isn't this track her from 1962?

1962 is written on the record/cover...

[petiekenta]

58年？めっちゃかっこいいなこれ！！



[shaftsbury94]

bleep and booster.

[polybiusjunkie]

love that base :D

[KENKENNIFF]

Sounds pretty amazing.

[teleclysm]

This 1959 track by Tom Dissevelt is not "Syncopation," it's titled "Vibration" (US title "The Visitor from Inner Space"). It's on a 2004 collection called "Popular Electronics: Early Dutch Electronic Music from Philips Research Laboratories, 1956-1963." Not much in common with 80s Acid house except that it is made with electronic sounds. Dissevelt was a jazzman; the loose, disjointed rhythm here might be called "swinging"--it's certainly more complex than Acid's usual 4-on-the-floor thump.

[rapper1918]

First seconds sounds very 80s

[kennytrip]

ha ha, mental , sounds like a circus of electricity gone mad.

[davidpaul8]

I like it ...but I did not know they had synthesizers and delay units back then?

Is this a hoax?

[Fluxchase]

@davidpaul8 all done with primitive, often unique. electronic contraptions and tape loops/machines...there's a glimpse into their operations on a related clip.

[Metamusik]

@davidpaul8 no, the didn't have synthesizers. They used tone-generators and tape editing to create these effects. Time consuming work. It's not a hoax, it's the origin.

[KCJazzKeys]

@davidpaul8 This is real stuff. Ever since the early 40's composers have experimented with "Music Concrete" manipulated recorded sound using tone generators and such. Electrical musical instruments actually date back to the late 1800's!!!

[arealbladeofgrass]

Hot Stuff, A must have for any Raver who takes his sounds seriously. Bleep On

[xantochroi]

these sounds are sOO Supercalifragilisticexpialidoc­iously insane...

wicked

[TheHealingCreative]

I have seldom been so transfixed by a piece of music, this is magic...

[Nagsworth]

@TheHealingCreative Not magic, my friend! SCIENCE!

[TheHealingCreative]

@Nagsworth My friend! And the difference between science and magic is?

[felderkirk]

This is aceness.

[Fluxchase]

This is mad. Bonkers. They were visionaries. "Kid Baltan"!

[allertonoff2]

speechless...i love this =)))

[kingklabe]

Maaaaan!! Imagine what kind of stuff we would be playing now if this did catch on!!

5*+Favz!!!

[AugZF]

o yes my man, this is m1ntialsteroSSesquidulikechick­ansurprisedRUXQRZfarnamas win!@5

[kingklabe]

@AugZF Indeedlypustastiche!

[DjJohnnyM68]

Kraftwerk, Can, Eno, Fripp, and Moebius all owe these guys a debt of gratitude.

[Jogamatic]

delicious. reminds me of bruce haack's works. there was a collection that came out a while back... OHM - The Early Gurus of Electronic Music, lots of good stuff i'd recommend as a decent entry point to explore more.

[TheTigercave]

one for for this L.S.D trips...

[cm2dude]

This is epic.

[AshleyMarkPomeroy]

That "whhoooOOOOSH!" noise at 0:40 has something of the New Romantic about it.

[Metamusik]

The baseline that drops in 0:25 is so damn funky it's unbelievable. I wish clubs would spin this, these sounds are amazing.

[logosfails]

Indeed! This stuff was really more like 50 years ahead of its time. I don't think this would have gone in the 80s (except in experimental circles, where everything cal always fly for a short distance). Zomby, the dubstep producer, is finally getting back to these kinds of bizarre, bloopy, wriggling soundscapes (though in a minimalistic setting, without so much variation). Do you know of anyone else exploring this same kind of sonic territory today?

[meatymouldia]

its a crime this only has 129 views. upload ray makers!!!

[meatymouldia]

and not uploaded by hungarian idiots who mix it with jean michel jarre! wicked! i think this was made in 1957.

[tek1doo]

.i. from hungary :D

[meatymouldia]

YES! one of my fav tracks from this FUCKING MINDBLOWING album!! WOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

[tedskes]

Great !

[maitilupas]

thx for great share =)
