One of the earliest & most influential Electronic albums OF ALL TIME ‘Audio Fidelity Records… believes Gershon Kingsley is a true genius and a worthy creative compliment to the electronic wizardry of Robert A. Moog, the creator of the Moog Synthesizer.’ 1969 The Beatles were influenced by him (and sampled his music on their 1968 Beatles Christmas EP). Since 1972, his music accompanies each day’s Main Street Electrical Parade in Disney theme parks. Yet Gershom Kingsley (born: Götz Gustav Ksinski) remains a mystery to many, despite being one of electronic music’s finest pioneers and earliest exponents of Robert Moog’s synthesizer and the possibilities it’s use bought to music. Newly mastered from restored Audio Fidelity tapes – this reissue sounds incredible! The rare non-album B-side The First Step (The Sea Of Tranquility) has been added to the LP while the CD adds additional mono mixes and comes in the album’s alternate cover. Both LP and CD include the rare 8-page booklet that came with initial copies of the Audio Fidelity LP. To repay The Beatles compliment of including one of his songs, Gershom Kingsley covered two Fab Four classics in his own unique electronic style and included them on Music To Moog By: ‘Nowhere Man’ and ‘Paperback Writer’. ‘First-wave Moog enthusiast and electronic music pioneer…’ Electronic Sound – The Electronic Music Magazine, January 2020.
