Album Info
Release Date: 1970Label: Mercury
First it was solid rock music (MOOG GROOVE LS 86070) that earned The Electronic Concept Orchestra a Grammy Award nomination for excellence in engineering. Then came the chart album of today's most romantic melodies (ELECTRIC LOVE LS 86072). Now, in its first album on the Mercury label, The Electronic Concept Orchestra has approached the best music from today's most meaningful films.The Academy Award Oscars this year demonstrated a growing recognition of new styles in film making as well as a constant awareness that background film music should come from the most talented array of song writers and composers that the popular music field has ever seen. Great songs by great writers such as Bert Bacharach, Michel Legrand, John Barry, Jerry Goldsmith, John Simon, Mikis Theodorakis, and others are in this album. Great too, are the films themselves.
But greatest of all perhaps is the delightfully inventive music that The Electronic Concept Orchestra creates as the interwoven patterns of rhythm, strings, and Moog Synthesizer cascade from your speakers in magnificent stereo. R.M.
