29 mixes with songs by “Gershon Kingsley”

Reflecting on our own composer Jim Perkins and animator Em Cooper's recent performance of Emergence, here's a mix based on the same title.

A burlesque (and not-so-burlesque) milkshake of tunes for that well deserved saucy, freaky alien striptease. Sit back in your velvet club chair and let the busty ladies do the work.

A brief history of synthpop. From "Switched On Bach" to the early days of new wave, from Hot Butter to The Human League, a 22 song immersion into the most influential examples of early electronic pop music. And who knew Cat Stevens was a synthesizer pioneer?

Sunbursts on the optic nerve vibrate the heartstring orchestras. Among them were Edu Lobo, Harumi, and The Mindbenders.

Also, the world's sleaziest song about studying English Lit.

Cosmic and soothing sounds from The Workshop along with electronic pioneers Bruce Haack, Jean-Jacques Perrey, Mort Garson and many others. Special treat at the very end.

In the vein of "galactic transmission"... another set of celestial classics.

Electronic and proto-electronic and some experimental stuff from 50-ties onwards: Raymond Scott, Electrosonics, Tangerine Dream etc

Turn off the lights, light some black candles, drink some red wine and listen.

Eight tracks including music by Al Tijuana & His Jewish Brass, Gershon Kingsley and Hebrew School.

...this is what I would listen to. 9 tracks inspired by Tom Selleck's moustache including: Calibro 35, Jean-Jacques Perrey and Angelo Badalamenti.
