Thursday Tunes

Courtesy of reader Jeff W, this week's Thursday Tunes is Fantasy in Orbit. Composer Tom Dissevelt was one of the earliest pioneers of electronic music, starting back in the late 1950s when most people had never even heard of a synthesizer, let alone heard music created on one. It pretty much goes without saying that this is hardcore music history sort of stuff, not exactly full of toe-tapping melodies. It would be another two decades before the likes of Tangerine Dream and Jean Michel-Jarre mainstreamed electronic music in the 1970s. Still, it's worth a listen if you're interested in the development of the genre.
