[@leshawn71]

...raymond scott...a true visionary... --- ...a man whose genius expanded far ahead of his time...//...his vision of... "the tomorrow people" ...(...and of the future capabilities of moon exploration and space traveling, was nothing short of prophetic insight...clearly an amazing man of his time...as well as ours!...R.I.P. - to an incredibly advanced human-being!...

[@22Metropolis22]

Imagine finding an absolute gem album like this whilst digging.

[@geckorider]

Dilla did, yeah

[@last808]

This shit is insane. So many samples from great producers like J Dilla and DJ Shadow are from Raymond Scott's album.

[@billwesley]

This is excellent music electronic aside, plus its highly advanced. when I was a kid I was facinated by the strange cool sounds I was hearing in adds, often with really far out surrealistic animations as well. the adds were better than the shows in those days.

This is fucking bananas.

[@zorantaylor3190]

Everything from 7:23 onward makes early Devo & Talking Heads sound like light opera. And it's completely unintentional.

[@martinkoconnor1406]

When light works advert kicks in oh my god if that's the original from 60's omfg

[@kidicaruz]

this just blew my mind!!!

[@vibrohm]

so few views!!! This is uncannily fantastic.

[@lugie69]

rest in peace jay dee

[@michaelbauers8800]

He had some good ideas. Of course he gets way more mentions for Loony Toons than his electronic music contributions

[@cristianopfilhopfilho887]

When I heard Ray Scott understood what he meant by Ralf Hütter: his biggest influence.

[@coyhampton3087]

7:02 to 7:18 = pure genius

[@tubeornottubeuseful]

Coy Hampton One day, someone will make a fortune using it.

[@ReggiePostlethwaite]

Coy Hampton you are a genius too, i didn't get it EVEN after listening so many times to this record. Thank you fella!

[@PlatinumJestar]

Coy Hampton Can you explain why it's genius please. I'm a bit of a musical pleb.

[@coyhampton3087]

PlatinumJestar It sounds like something you could build a song around.

[@alimantado373]

It was made in the late 50's ..not much pure electronic music then?

[@marioalassio1]

LIGHT UP THE SPLIFFS THE NAME OF THE GAME IS THE LIGHTWORKS

[@leshawn71]

@Rocketboy5 THIS GUY: -Scott, --started off doing old jazz numbers and commercial jingles...}}} --then somehow...along comes THIS album [--well before any true advances of space travel -were within reach]... *It's a testament to Scott's limitless creativity AND inventive genius [--i.e.: ...this man actually, created his own machines and instruments (which produced the cosmic sounds and effects that you're hearing on these recordings...)] --akin of later 'techno-pop' music such as ~KRAFTWERK...

Nevermind.....I just figured it out....Donuts album

[@PASCHDigiMedia]

Doctor Who meets Forbidden Planet

[@moonmoustache]

oh my!

[@markschlesinger]

Woow! and a a bit of"The Who Sell Out", which is brilliant in it's own element. Way-out experimental jazz, sci-fi, and ad parody rolled into (whatever). I bet this guy was Zappa and Beefheart's hero! Maybe Sun Ra, too (though they were contemporaries.)

[@guzzinerd]

Mark Schlesinger And the Residents, and Stereolab, and Robert Moog, and many others…..

[@sinisterfw]

+Mark Schlesinger I think they were actual ads. It was a way to make money that he could spend on the machines he built himself

[@robertm2000]

+Mark Schlesinger Delia Derbyshire must have been around this too

[@MicahMicahel]

"That's gotta come from Europe. We wouldn't play no shit like that. It's so sad. It sounds funny to me. Sounds like a 1935 arrangement by Raymond Scott. You mean there's somebody around here that feels like that? Even the white people don't feel that sad." Miles Davis.

[@BetamaxFlippy]

Some tracks sound like the work of cyriak

[@odedfried-gaon2880]

[@bruce3178]

I came for that

[@retrosad]

name of the first song?

[@KRAFTWERK2K6]

Nope :3 it's the Electron. A very ambitious selfmade Synthesizer/Sequencer made by Raymond Scott himself, currently being repaired and restored after years of being stored unused.

[@Rocketboy5]

@leshawn71 "his vision of... "the tomorrow people" ...(...and of the future capabilities of moon exploration and space traveling, was nothing short of prophetic insight." Are you sure you have the right person? What the hell are you talking about?

[@octagon79]

@UNCLECURLY72 Not unless Marty McFly brought one back for him.
