Rob_Clarke, Oct 28, 2004

This is an innovative and extremely unusual album which came about through research work at Bell Labs in the late 50's and early 60's.

The tracks are either cover versions or compositions by scientists that are designed to illustrate the different ways in which computers can make music. The highlight is 'Bicycle built for two', which features some unusual synthesised singing!
