You can find the release on Amazon
and eBay."Here's the complete 'Electronic Sound' album by George Harrison. This album was among the first to be entirely recorded using a Moog Synthesizer which was still a relatively new instrument at the time (1969). George would later introduce the Moog to his fellow Beatle bandmates and they would wind up using it on their immortal 'Abbey Road' album (particularly on the tracks 'Here Comes The Sun', 'Maxwell's Silver Hammer', 'Because' and 'I Want You (She's So Heavy)').
When it comes to the early synth pioneers, one would not think of Beatle George as being one of them but this album proves otherwise. This was actually way ahead of its time when it was first released.

ReplyDeleteI had never heard about this album before and I feel extremely interested by it. Despite the criticisms some could write against it, and that, according what I understood were written when it was first released, this album deserves our interest, not only because its composer is Georges Harrison, although it reveals how much the Beatles open minded were, in parallel to their well known creation. The fact is Harrison uses the Big Moog in a genuine experimental approach instead of only practicing it in the melodic common way which will be very often preferred by many musicians, making the choice to invite us in an exploration travel. May be, some people could discuss to determine if every second of this music is absolutely a success during hours. I consider on my side, that this is close to the first compositions initiated from 1950 by Herbert Eimert. We have here an experimentation that is not only a kind of technical demo, but a real work of artistic research. Many thanks for having posted it as a rare example of the begining of experimental creation on Moogs instruments.
