21 Channel sound refers to 21 mic positions and tracks. I've got another in the "21 Channel Sound" series posted Manuel And His Strings.

The audio quality is very good and the sample/title track found on side 2 was a nice surprise.

The Sensuous Piano Of "D" - Dick Hyman

El Condor Pasa

The Sensuous Piano Of "D"

1971

This is a unique mood album that, at times, touches on the experimental. The reverb effect in the sample takes this tune to a new level.

Voices In Motion

Ebb Tide

Voices In Motion
Conducted By Simon Rady
Columbia CS 8465
1961

Recorded May 3rd, May 11th, May 14 and May 17th, 1961, in Columbia Record's new Hollywood, California studios. Recording set-up included the use of four condenser microphones. Custom recording console designed and built by Columbia Records Engineering and Development Department.

From the back cover: Before the recent invention and development of modern stereophonic recording equipment, the concept of Voices In Motion would have been impossible to produce on records. Voices In Motion, as developed for this Columbia album, utilizes the human voice in much the same way as Percy Faith uses string instruments. Four choirs comprising twenty-six voices and covering four octaves of voice production blend and move in, out, toward and aways from each other and swirl serenely through the mind of the listener creating the illusion of vast space and soothing movement. Sopranos are treated as violins, altos as violas, tenors as cellos and bassos as contrabasses with one important difference. In the conventional orchestral setup, the individual instruments remain stationary, blending into sections. In Voices In Motion, everything moves. A soprano will be heard moving into and out of juxtaposition with a tenor voice and then bassos and altos and more sopranos, then all will be swept together into a sound of tranquil glory, never out of balance.

Side two: Oskar Sala's Five Improvisations On Magnetic Tape. The brief sample is the first movement from this side.

Side one and two aren't too far apart in tone. The vinyl is good stuff if you are looking for that early, moody science fiction-like vibe.

The Don Elliott Quintet

Everything I Love

The Don Elliott Quintet
RCA Victor LJM-1007
1955

Here's some groovy cover art for a mid-50s album. The music is small combo jazz that reflects the vibe of the cover graphic. Good stuff, but the standout track for me is the inventive Everything I Love.

Elliott is credited with playing the Mellophone, Trumpet, Vibraphone and Bongos. He also does a fine job singing on the one vocal track, I Just Don't Care Anymore.
