Mark Shreeve - Riding the Edge Bruton

2007-08-26T21:54:00.001-07:00

From Berlin School influenced composer Mark Shreeve here is a library moog album. I've really liked Mark's work especially with his group Redshift where he proved the master of the Moog modular. If you like 80s Tangerine Dream you'll love his stuff. Thanks to whoever originally uploaded this album.

Ruth White

2007-07-26T17:14:00.000-07:00

Here we have a couple of early 70s strange vocal and moog albums from Ruth White courtesy of Reza.

Flowers of Evil showcases Ruth's moog doodlings overlaid with her readings of poetry all done in a sombre and rather creepy way. Not light entertainment but kind of creepily atmospheric for those quiet halloween nights.

In 1971, the Moog synthesist Ruth White released an album called Short Circuits which includes versions of a number of favorite classics. Among them is a rendition of "Les Barricades Mystérieuses" which, under the title "Variations on Couperin's Rondeau ("Les Barricades mystérieuses")," is the only piece on the album which deviates enough from the original for her to credit the result to herself. Her variations involve the piece, played quite quickly, with a descant over the top playing a jaunty medley of bits and pieces, including some of Yankee Doodle. The result is actually rather pleasant. The cover is notable for its psychedelic art.

He later recorded several albums on the Moog Synthesizer which mixed original compositions and cover versions, including Moog: Electric Eclectics, and The Age of Electronicus.
