Roger Roger
Musique Idiote
Edition of 300 copies on 180-gram vinyl. Roger Roger (August 5th 1911-June 12th 1995) was a French film composer and bandleader. His aliases included Eric Swan and Cecil Leuter, the last being a pseudonym he used for his electronic productions. He was one of the first artists, together with Pierre Henry and Jean-Jacques Perrey, to experiment with the Moog synth. His 'Pop Electronique' album was released in 1969, five years after Bob Moog put his synth on the market. 'Musique Idiote' is a super rare experimental moogy LP with beautiful cover art and is a definitive collector's item for any Dada/absurd/Monthy Python fan! It's full of short analogue synth compositions on the theme of "extremely annoying and devolved". Roger Roger was one of the kings of library music, and this album (1971) is part of the Neuilly series out of France.
