But Barlow thinks that the public isn't interested into Moody's music, and so he provokes fake riots and assaults in believe to push Moody's career. At the end, Moody recognizes how inability Barlow is.

About the scenes:
Moody plays his first gig in an punk shed (Barlow knew that the punks doesn't like Moody's synth music and initiated an riot) which ends in an free-for-all.

Then Moody left the alligator studios and pack his synths in the believe, that Barlow will push his career.

Frustrated about the fact, that Barlow never achieve any profitable gig, Moody sits drugged in front of the PPG Modular, unable to play any note."

SY MANN - SWITCHED ON SANTA - Tijuana Christmas (1970)

YouTube via cosmocorps2000.

Don't miss the kawazy vid below. "SY MANN showed his earliest musical talent at age 6 when he began to correct mistakes, made by his older sister who was then a cello student, by reaching up to the keyboard of the family player-piano and striking the "right notes". His parents took him to a piano instructor when he was 7 and in a short time it was discovered that he possessed absolute pitch. During public school assemblies he gave demonstrations of this phenomenon to the applause and wonder of his classmates and teachers. He continued his music education at NYU. Excelling in his music studies, Sy was elected to membership in the National Honorary music fraternity, PHI MU ALPHA SINFONIA and, later, held the post of student president of the music department of NYU School of Education. Back in civilian life after almost 4 years of service, Sy returned to NYU for his B.S. degree in Music Education, now a married man and father of a baby boy. Not particularly desirous of entering the teaching field, Sy continued with performing engagements, playing for most of show business' top acts as well as stints with the bands of Alvino Ray and Benny Goodman. In 1949 he entered the radio field as staff pianist and arranger for New York's top independent station WNEW. He then established himself in the recording, jingle and film music fields. In 1954 he joined the CBS music staff and currently is pianist-arranger on the Arthur Godfrey Show where he doubles on trumpet, vibraphone, clavietta, electric harpsichord and other assorted keyboard instruments. He has contributed his talents to numerous stars like Barbra Streisand, Tiny Tim, Sammy Davis, Connie Francis. Anybody who plays piano can play The Moog Synthesizer. It is a computer like instrument with a piano keyboard. Since only one note sounds at a time to make music one needs a multi-track tape recorder to record each line of music separately. An electronic engineer is needed not only for the circuitry but also to program the millions of different sound combinations available — also each time the sound is changed The Moog has to be tuned! It takes about one hour of recording time to produce 30 seconds of listenable music. In this album Sy takes the Moog Synthesizer and creates today's electronic Christmas tree out of this new musical wonder. The Moog, a strange machine of lights, cords, inputs and outputs enters the festive world of the merriest season of all. It's a wonderful gift for today's caroleers. Sy Mann giftwraps all your Christmas favorites in the most exciting musical sound, and puts them under your glittering tree. Gift tagged to read 'Merry Christmas from The Moog!'"

SY MANN - SWITCHED ON SANTA - My Favorite Things (1970)



"MUSIC: Sy Mann - My Favorite Things from the album SWITCHED ON SANTA! (1970) One of this numerous Moog records from the past. Now the Moog plays popular xmas songs VIDEO: Scenes from Tales From The Crypt (GB 1972) Episode: All Through The House Starring Joan Collins After Joanne Clayton (Joan Collins) kills her husband on Christmas Eve, she prepares to hide his body but hears a radio announcement stating that a homicidal maniac (Oliver MacGreevy) is on the loose. She sees the maniac outside her house but can't call the police because of her husband's body. The segment ends with the maniac, dressed as Santa Claus, being let into the house by Joanne's little daughter. He strangles Joanne to death. (from Wikipedia)."

Update via Mal in the comments: "This was recorded in Jean-Jacques Perrey's Recording studio in Manhattan using his (and Gershon Kingsley's) moog modular. Jean-jacques engineered the album (uncredited) and I also believe that manny of the tracks were actually arranged and recorded by him. Also... Santa on the front cover is in fact Jean-Jacques Perrey!!!"

Update via Qwave in the comments: "Actually this is not the original Bach version, but the "Ave Maria" composed by Charles Gounod based on the harmony and texture of J.S.Bach's Prelude No.1 in C Major from Well-Tempered Clavier Book I (BWV 846).
Here is the version without the added melody by Mr. Gounod"

CARLOS FUTURA Bach For Bachelors 1979 Christian Bruhn Synth

YouTube via cosmocorps2000 | February 08, 2008 |

"Carlos Futura "Bach For Computer" 1979
Bach For Bachelors (Preludium 21 - Übungen Für Angänger) Johann Sebastian Bach.

Carlos Futura was a pseudonym for Klaus Netzle and Christian Bruhn (legendary German composer of themes from Capt. Future, Timm Thaler etc.)

It's more a historic- than an masterpiece of electronic/synthesizer music, but nevertheless interesting.

On the lp-cover backside there is a picture of an Roland System-700 connected to the MC-8 Microcomposer (don't know if they used the Roland machines actual on the record, but the picture is nice ;)"

MOLECULE DANCE (The Strange World Of Bernard Fevre, 1975)

"Molecule Dance by Bernard Fevre from the library album THE STRANGE WORLD OF BERNARD FEVRE (L'Illustration Musicale, 1975).

Scenes taken from the german/british sci-fi series STAR MAIDENS (Die Mädchen aus dem Weltraum) from 1976.

Plot (from Wikipedia):
Star Maidens is a television series made by Portman Productions for the ITV Network in 1976.
Filmed at Bray Studios and on location in Windsor, Bracknell and Black Park, the series was part financed by a German company (Werbung im Rundfunk) and was the brainchild of Charles Pym.

The series offered a battle of the sexes/role reversal scenario in which two male domestics escape from the female-ruled planet Medusa, land on Earth and are pursued by the Medusan security forces. When the Medusans fails to recapture the two men, they take two Earth hostages - a man and a woman - back with them to their home planet. The thirteen episodes of the series deal with the two groups trying to adapt to life on the different planets whilst brokering an exchange for the hostages.

Regarded as something of a camp novelty, Star Maidens tuned in to the sexual equality revolution of the time, and features some Femdom elements.

The series starred JUDY GEESON, LISA HARROW, CHRISTIANE KRÜGER, PIERRE BRICE, CHRISTIAN QUADFLIEG and GARETH THOMAS."
