Poème Électronique
Just loaded iTunes on my new computer, and after iTune's randomizer dug into my music library and served up Keith Emerson's Blue Inferno, The Beatles' Back in the USSR, and let Leonard Bernstein & New York Philharmonic play "Samuel Goldenberg and Schmuyle" from Ravel's orchestrated version of Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition, this rather catchy tune came up: the 1958 classic, Poème Électronique by Edgard Varèse. I've always loved this one. Enjoy.

When the electronic noises began, it scared the bejeesus out of Stella cat! Who had been slumbering peacefully on my lap. Cat ears are quite sensitive to electronic frequencies ...

:lol: Late at night it can even scare me, and I must have heard it at least a half-a-million times since the 60s.

You know, I'm always amazed at what catches my interest. Believe me, I don't usually sit around listening to black spirituals a lot. But I've listened to this clip (and it's hardly the highest quality sound you've ever heard) several dozens of times over the past few weeks for reasons I can't really explain. It's compelling, somehow. If someone has an explanation for me, please let me know. If you'd like to listen to it, the music starts at about 1:40.

I was in my prime music consumption years when Lou Reed was making it big. The dorm rooms were filled with album covers sporting bananas. But, as my taste moved towards electronic and ambient over the years, Lou put out an album I really liked: Hudson River Wind Meditations.

If you live in the US remember to turn back the hands of time before you go to bed.
