@Kitangel : NOT "lads"...
BUT : "My Brothers..." or "My Droogs (Droogies)" ;-)

Seeing as how the Beach Boys recorded Good Vibrations in the early 60's, I would be very surprised there was a Moog on that recording. That eerie background sound mistaken for a Moog is actually a theramin.

Zappa on Halloween. No better madness anywhere.

...and before I forget, look up Silver Apples and Lothar & The Hand People for some of the most primitive, but thoroughly entertaining, electronic sounds of the sixties. I have all their albums, which are just a handful, so you unfortunately don't have a lot to check out. Dig the tunes! - Chick

While I get the promotional lingo and applaud anyone pushing the moog (which I first played back in 1969-70), the true pioneers of electronic music that folks need to hunt down and listen to are Raymond Scott, Walter (now Wendy) Carlos, Louis & Bebe Barron, Jean-Jacques Perrey, Gershon Kingsley, and of course, Karlheinz Stockhausen. These are the names that immediately come to mind. There are others and studying the work of the above group will lead you to them, long before you reach the modern age in the '70s with Kraftwerk.

And no Walter/Wendy Carlos, the true Moog pioneer of The Well-Tempered Synthesiser fame? Did you never see 'A Clockwork Orange', lads? The Debussy is inspired.
