- The Fascinating World Of Electronic Music by Kid Baltan and Tom Dissevelt will come out in November.
We Are Busy Bodies is reissuing Kid Baltan and Tom Dissevelt's 1963 album The Fascinating World of Electronic Music.
The LP, which combines jazz with experimental electronics, is thought to predate other early electronic music productions, such as Delia Derbyshire's Dr. Who theme. The LP's 1957 track, "Song Of The Second Moon," is widely regarded to be the world's first electronic pop composition.
At the same time as reissuing The Fascinating World of Electronic Music, which lands in November, the Canadian label will reissue Dissevelt's follow up album, 1965's Fantasy In Orbit.
Listen to "Song Of The Second Moon."
