1972 Ideal "Bing Bang Boing" Commercial

YouTube via daftmahatma

"I believe the Moog synthesized music to this Bing Bang Boing commercial to be "Chicken On The Rocks" from Jean-Jacques Perrey."

Philadelphia 2006 Boredoms and their "Eye Ball" MIDI Controller

YouTube via shagasss. "eYe's Balls" via Alex:
"The two light bulbs have each a chip with a few sensors; the sensors detect movement, XYZ, shaking, velocity and proximity from each other. All these senses transmit this data as control messages to a laptop running unknown software. As the control messages trigger different sounds and events, it also sends corresponding electrical voltages back to the light bulbs, making the light bulbs react to the different movements. Really cool stuff!! I heard that a guy in Japan makes these, they're custom and only a few exist. As far as I know, there is no website for these things."

Can't remember anymore how I originally got any info of this legendary record, but I do remember how I found it at the Seinäjoki record Store and how I listened it before buying it. Even the trip to the city, dark evening and then how I was there with my 2 brothers, and how they left me into the record store and went to their businesses - and forgot me there... And how I was a bit scared when I realized that. (I was 17) And how they finally came to pick me up. (the last long Bach's Prelude nr 8 here - brings those memories over and over again...)

This record was very important many other ways. I took it with me to school and played during the music lesson and my music teacher liked it very much, so much that she wanted to play it in the morning prayer through the loud speakers to the whole school. That was amazing a moment for me!

Then I played it in our teenager dancing party at our school. Between the pop songs. Still remember how people were amazed to hear in-between Rolling Stones & Beatles something like this.

Trivia: The 1st LP I ever digitalized into CDr in 1999.

Trivia2: There's another version of the cover pic, where the wigged-headed "Bach" is standing."

"These are quite rare , built by well known Itallian manufacturer SIEL in the late 70's . SIEL also manufactured these for ARP which is know as the ARP Quartet, which is exactly the same except the paint job.It is missing a few of the coloured caps.

Good if you want analog string sound and basic sawtooth sounds for cheap"
