Electric Sound Views

General Goods

The first book to deal comprehensively with the history of electronic music, Joel Chadabe's 'Electric Sound: The Past and Promise of Electronic Music' is a lively, witty, and engaging narrative that tells in vivid terms how the electronic musical instrument developed from its beginnings in Thaddeus Cahill's Telharmonium at the turn of the century and in the theremin in the 1920s to the MIDI synthesizers of the 1990s.

Electric Sound Continuum (named after a line in a Carole King song and the title of a Stereolab song) was formed in 2001 by me and a friend who then decided to pursue skydiving and wake-boarding. I write the music and play the instruments but since my vocal talent is quite limited, I ask friends to sing on my songs. They usually do.

Mostly instrumental work contains long compositions, and I like that melodic spacey sound, with electric heavy guitar soloing, mid tempo almost Floydian liquid sound, full-bodied and quite atmospheric music at the same time. No too much electronic effects, no overweighed soundscapes. Excellent simple sound, where spacey castles are build not by electronics, but by keyboardist and guitarist master musicianship.Possibly greatest moment of this album is that it being an easy accessible work contains all the best early spacey krautrock elements at their best form. Accessible krautrock's cornerstone?I can really recommend this album for krautrock newcomers - you wouldn't be disappointed!
