Forbidden Planet (was Re: [sdiy] We are the Mummies )

[Jay Schwichtenberg]

Howdy,

None of us here would happen to have Forbidden Planet, Electronic Music by
Louis and Bebe Barron, PR-D-001 from Small Planet Records.

No, not in this group :^>

There was a good article in Keyboard quite a while back about them and the
making of the sound track. A lot of the circuits were tubed based. In some
cases you actually hear the death woes of circuits frying.

Now where is that Bernard Hermann CD I have?

Take care and a good weekend to everyone.
Jay
