Music For Instruments & Electronic Sounds - Donald Erb

Music For Instruments & Electronic Sounds
Reconnaissance / In No Strange Land
Conducted by Donald Erb
Coordinator – Teresa Stone
Art Direction [Art Director] – William S. Harvey
Cover Design: Hess and/or Antupit
Nonesuch Records H 71223
1969

Terrific electronic album that does an excellent job of blending real instruments with the synthetically generated sounds.

If you sit back and close your eyes the music could create a movie in your mind. Reconnaissance is one continuous track that could help you visit a fantastic planet while sitting in your easy chair.

Side two features In No Strange Land which continues the journey in 4 movements. This trip is a bit more "fractured" than side one.
