American composer, bandleader, and inventor, Raymond Scott, born on September 10, 1908 in Brooklyn, NY and passed away on February 8, 1994 in North Hills, CA. He was a pioneer of contemporary experimental music.

In 1949, Scott's most significant achievement was the creation of the Electronium - one of the earliest synthesizers ever made. This "instantaneous composing machine" generated original music through random sequences of tones, rhythms, and timbres. Although it lacked a keyboard and wasn't considered a prototype synthesizer by Scott himself, its groundbreaking use of artificial intelligence paved the way for future electronic compositions.

Scott's inventive spirit extended to other creations as well. The "Karloff," an early sampler capable of reproducing various sounds like sizzling steaks or jungle drums; the Clavinox, a keyboard Theremin featuring an electronic sub-assembly designed by Robert Moog; and the Videola which combined a keyboard with a TV screen to aid in composing music for films were among his notable inventions.

During the mid-1960s onwards, Scott shifted his focus from recording and performing to writing and inventing. His last orchestral work was a musical celebrating Kentucky Bourbon's centennial in 1969. From then on he dedicated himself solely to electronic composition. One noteworthy innovation during this period was an early programmable polyphonic

Over the years, Sundazed has collaborated with various cutting and pressing facilities to bring their releases to life.

In recent years, they have partnered with Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio for primary manufacturing.

When it comes to pressing their vinyl records, Sundazed has utilized different facilities depending on the era. From the late 1990s to mid-2000s, they often worked with Stick '1' at Record Technology Incorporated (RTI). In later years, Rainbo Records and Quality Record Pressings were among their trusted partners. Currently, TMP (The Mastering Plant) handles their pressing needs.

Tingling tartness of jingle perfection! In addition to being a pioneer of early electronic music, Raymond Scott generated hymns to hunger, odes to pudding and pilsner, and crafted carols for countless other products, elevating the form of advertisement to an art.

If Zappa had written music for commercials, it’s not hard to think his approach would have been similar! This first ever collection is pressed on blue and gold vinyl at Third Man Pressing and contains varied styles in both instrumentation and vocalisation, previously unavailable electronic works, and a zine-style in-sert with rare photos and a reproduction of a 1964 interview with Raymond himself. Products may contain soy, wheat, dairy, or Mel Torme.
