INTRODUCTION
Manhattan
Research, Inc. Is a 2 CD set of early electronic music composed and
recorded by Raymond Scott. The collection is an incredible set featuring
his groundbreaking work for commercials, exhibits, art projects and films,
and research. If you don't have the CDs, this page is not going to have
any value. I suggest you check out the CDs.
The charts
break the tracks up into various categories for the listener in order
to create meta-albums based off of the music contained in the 2 CD set.
In other words, if you have Manhattan Research, you can build mini-albums
of the various themes by simply programming your MP3 player (or CD changer
if you so dare) to match the tracks listed below.
HOW
TO USE THESE LISTS
In
order to make any of these lists into meta-albums, simply get an MP3 ripper/player
such as Musicmatch Jukebox,
record the 2 CDs from Manhattan Research Inc, then create playlists using
one of the lists below as a guide. Save the playlists for quick recall
later on. use a random or shuffle command to spice up the lists even further.
It's fun!
SOUNDS
OF TOMORROW
This playlist
features music that "points towards tomorrow" either through narration
or through mood. I tried to leave off electronic tracks that were
too long or abstract, leaving either out-of-this-world music or forward-looking
commercials and narration. |
