The Electrosoniks

Somebody on rateyourmusic.com said of this album,

"I was shocked to discover the back-story about this album; it being recorded in 1962 (the title track in '57!). Talk about ahead of it's time! Judging it by 1968 standards (it's U.S. release date), this is electronic driven prog/psych instrumentals, with strong exploitation flavor, a few horns, and with a few soundtrack style cuts."

It has also been released as Song of the Second Moon, but the title was originally just Electronic Music.

It's fun and quirky and oh-so-retro, like a boiled-down soundtrack to Forbidden Planet.  But it will always hold a place in my heart as one of the featured title music themes of Tulsa Channel 2's Fantastic Theatre, hosted by the German-sounding Peter Hart in the 1960s.  (The other theme song was "Quiet Village.")  So whenever Mom allowed me to stay up late on Saturday night to watch a dinosaur movie at 10:30PM, this was the magic music I heard.  Track 5, "Sonik Re-Entry," is the one used on TV.

Here are the tracks:
1) Song of the Second Moon
2) Moon Maid
3) The Ray Makers
4) The Visitor from Inner Space
5) Sonik Re-Entry
6) Orbit Aurora
7) Twilight Ozone
