When I was a freshman in high school, in 1969, our music teacher -- she was a religious sister, but I forget her name -- introduced us to electronic music by playing this record. Now, forty-two years later, because the title stayed in my memory all these years, I am able to hear it again on You Tube! Truly amazing to be able to hear it again for the first time in more than four decades!

Bizarro *--*

I can tell that this is an excerpt you would hear in the OHM compilation. One of the good parts of the whole thing, which would take about a half an hour.

This has got to be the all time worst piece of shit I have ever heard in my life. I wouldn't use it to torture my enemies.

This was the first piece of genuine "electronic music" as opposed to a spliced up tape of sound effects. It took a year to write and was composed and played on a specially designed machine that used pressure plates instead of keys. Every other electronic piece owes this seemingly discordant mish-mash of sounds something.

@Decklann why not? This is an electronic music classic.
