Notes
... timely creel pone of this incredible 1957 “institutional issue” lp (literally, pressed by a french “sleep institute” and given out to hospitals - mental & otherwise - to aid in their patients’ acquisition of sleep) featuring two “takes” of a piece composed & performed by jean-jacques perrey, consisting of lulling ondioline (george jenny’s 1941 vacuum-tube based, spring-loaded electronic instrument) figures ...
... aside from being perrey’s first issued solorecording (he debuted as a sideman, on the same instrument, in 1951, on charles trenet’s “song of the poets”), this is remarkable on a number of levels ... namely that perrey appears to have single-handedly “invented” ambient electronic music (in that the intended purpose is to elicit an alpha-state) ... in 1957 ...
... this creel pone issue (which replicates the “spec” of the often sleeve-less record on a nice pearlized booklet) issues both side-length “takes” of the piece ; it’s a major revelation whole existence essentially rewrites the chronology of “electronic pop music” ...
