The Electric Moog Orchestra - Music from Close Encounters of the Third Kind

The Electric Moog Orchestra - Music from Close Encounters of the Third Kind

LP released in 1977

Apparently I am continuing the outer space theme started with an LP by a salesman who claimed to own outer space and including two cover albums of sci-fi soundtracks. This is another album of nicely done renditions of a John Williams soundtrack with Moogs. Like the Star Wars album, this record is kitschy, but a joy to listen to. Before I forget, I should point out that the last tracks on each side of the record are actually originals by The Electric Moog Orchestra. I was thrilled to find a copy of this record in some flea market sometime after I found the Star Wars album although the cover is worn.
