LUENING / USSACHEVSKY / BERGSMA - A POEM IN CYCLES AND BELLS & OTHER MUSIC FOR TAPE RECORDER (LP)

"Originally released in 1957, this compilation of electronic and orchestral compositions by masterminds Otto Luening, Vladimir Ussachevsky and William Bergsma has become a cult title among lovers of electronic space music. If you love late '60s and '70s stuff like early Tangerine Dream, Kraftwerk/Organisation and Kluster, you will be happy to find these pre-Kraut era compositions being on par with all the later and now legendary cosmic music acts. This long out of print gem is definitely one of the important steps towards any kind of electronic music that became successful since." (label info)
