The Electronic Concept Orchestra - Electric Love

The Electronic Concept Orchestra - Electric Love

Happy friggin Valentine's Day!

About this LP according to the liner notes:

The incredible electronic instrument, the Moog Synthesizer has been combined with a "Greatest Hits" collection of romantic songs and the wonderous string arrangements of Bob Schiff to produce "Electric Love" by the Electronic Concept Orchestra. Far from being a sterile, austere mish-mosh of electronic circuitry, the Moog as performed by Eddie Higgins, now becomes an expressive and entirely musical voice in the world of romantic listening.

I wanted to post another sleazy LP for this special day, but I lost track of some of my stuff during the hard drive crash of 2010. Instead, I am stuck with this collection of sweet, sappy, sentimental tunes. No special somebody in my life, no special sleazy record in my life = the story of my life. Enjoy your special day with some special music while I wallow in self-pity with a bucketful of delicious chocolate candies to stuff my face with.

Erotica, The Rhythms of Love

Erotica, The Rhythms of Love

Celebrate Valentine's Day, Basement style with this "experimental high fidelity recording featuring the sounds and rhythms of erotic love."

This is supposed to be a recording of the deed or a simulated version of it which is what I think it is. There's creaking bedsprings, moans and someone playing the bongos. I guess the bongos are supposed to help provide the rhythms of love. It sounds more silly than sexy. There certainly was a market for this sort of thing back in the day since the Fax Records label put out other releases dealing with the um, rhythms of love. The US Postal Service once found this particular LP obscene. I wonder how many copies of this record were sold and who bought those copies. It's another fascinating find on vinyl.
