Kind-of OT (but interesting): Raymond Scott

There is a 2 CD compilation of Raymond Scott's electronic works (from the 50's and 60's) being released, which can be had before the official release date through raymondscott.com. Thought there'd be more than a few people on this list interested - my copy's on it's way. If you don't remember who he is, he's the guy who wrote all that cool Warner Brother's cartoon music, like Powerhouse and Dinner Music for a Pack of Hungry Cannibals. For those not interested in experimental electronic music (and to stay slightly on topic for the list), he inadvertantly contributed to computers as well with several patents on magnetic tape positioning equipment and sound generators. I know that IBM, HP, Atari, and others used his ideas in their own designs, sometimes years after he implemented them. Cheers, Aaron
