"In 1970, Kingsley formed the pioneering First Moog Quartet, a four-synthesizer ensemble that attempted to prove that the electronic music could be played 'live' on stage, even in classical musical venues like Carnegie Hall (where the group gave the first live performance of synthesized music ever on January 30, 1970). Kingsley said, 'People were kind of confused about the concert, I understand, because it was just so new.' In order to get the Moog Quartet going, Kingsley had to convince Robert Moog to build three other synthesizers he needed. Then hire and train four musicians to play them. Not an easy task. But Kingsley's First Moog Quartet (originally released in 1970 on Audiofidelity) is the astonishing result." Original artwork, with fold-out digipak and booklet of original liner notes.

1999 reissue. "Reissue of the first album by German-born composer Gershon Kingsley. Originally released by Audio Fidelity in the late '60s, this record introduced him -- previously known for his Moog concertos at Carnegie Hall -- to the record buying public. Kingsley is one of the original Moog pioneers, well known for his collaborations with French maestro Jean-Jacques Perrey & as composer of the famous '72 hit 'Popcorn.' This album features the original 'Popcorn' as well as other Kingsley originals such as 'Hey Hey,' 'Sheila,' 'Trumansburg Whistle' and some Beatles covers like 'Nowhere Man' and 'Paperback Writer.' A full blown Moog extravaganza, a collection of catchy songs, easy melodies, robotic rhythms and a wide array of frequencies; synthesizer tones which buzz, twitter and twine."
