Oh, hello.

You found my little cave then, did you?

Well, that's okay. 

Come sit next to me by the gramophone, grab a pair of headphones and we'll go on a trip.

This shiny new blog is where I'll post any musical treasure I come across. You might like it, you mightn't, but how will you know if you don't try it?

Since this is the first post, I'll explain the blog's name and the first post will honour it. 

The In Sound From Way Out! Is an electronic music album made in 1966 by synth pioneers Jean-Jacques Perrey and Gershon Kingsley known together as Perrey and Kingsley. The album is full of fun, silly little ditties. They may not sound like anything special in this day and age but remember, this was made in the 60s. Before this, electronic music was "Avant-guarde" and didn't really have a commercial presence.

Unbeknownst to them, Perrey and Kingsley also wrote the music used in Disney's Main Street Electrical Parade. "In the 1970s, Walt Disney Productions chose this tune to be the theme for the Electrical Parade. It was extraordinary, I didn't know about it because the publishers said nothing to me. It was by chance, in 1980, that I went there and was so surprised to hear Baroque Hoedown arranged for a full orchestra." 

The In Sound From Way Out! name was borrowed by The Beastie Boys in 1996 for their instrumental album.

So there it is, the first post and a little explanation for you. I hope you'll enjoy whatever ear candy I dig up in the future. See ya next time!
