MOTM

I just dug my record out, and you're right, that sound at :59 wasn't  
all that complicated - actually just sounds like maybe a single  
blarty oscillator. I hadn't heard the song it years, so I guess it  
had become more complicated in my mind - I guess it was shocking at  
first listen since it was so loud and seemingly random. Anyway, the  
liner notes said it was recorded in 1967, and was one of her first  
Moog pieces and an experiment with an 8-track recorder. So the song's  
worth hearing even if it's just to see how out there she was from the  
beginning of her Moogery.
