"Popcorn" (first version "Pop Corn") is an instrumental song composed by Gershon Kingsley in 1969 for the album 'Music to Moog By'. It was performed on the Moog synthesizer and released on the Audio Fidelity label. The name is a combination of pop for pop music and corn for kitsch. The song became a worldwide hit in 1972, when it was covered by Hot Butter, an American pop band. Since then, multiple versions of the piece have been produced and released, including this recent one by Enzo Margaglio.

Rachel Flowers Plays The Endless Enigma -- Tribute to Keith Emerson



This orchestrated Emerson, Lake and Palmer (ELP) piece could easily have been placed in the Rock section, but equally so here.



Moving, to see blind Rachel Flowers brought to tears playing Keith Emerson's creation from the album Trilogy, someone who she had known in real life.



Sadly Keith, together with other ELP member Greg Lake, died in 2016, leaving just drummer Carl Palmer as the only surviving member. Keith died from a self inflicted gunshot wound, Greg of cancer. RIP guys!

The pioneers of synth: Moroder, Mike Oldfield, Jean Michele Jarre, Vangelis, H. Faltermeyer, etc. (arranged & performed by Ed Starink)

Long time ago, in the days of black and white TV, some of you, if you are as old as I am, might remember this piece as the theme of The Onedin Line (TV series).

English songwriter and composer Jerry Lordan came up with the tune in the late 1950s. Lordan was inspired to write the song after watching the 1954 American western film Apache, saying that he wanted something noble and dramatic, reflecting the courage and savagery of the Indian Apache warrior Massai, played by Burt Lancaster.



It was originally recorded by British guitarist Bert Weedon in early 1960, however, Lordan did not like Weedon's version of the song, as he thought it was too jaunty. For this reason, whilst on tour with Cliff Richard and the Shadows, Lordan played the song on his ukulele to the Shadows (famous for instrumentally backing Cliff Richard from 1958 to 1968), who liked the song and recorded it in June, quickly releasing it in July 1960.

"La Petite Fille de la mer" is the second track from the Vangelis' album "L'Apocalypse des animaux", which is a soundtrack album composed to accompany a documentary series about the animal kingdom directed by Frédéric Rossif, first broadcast on French TV in 1970.



As such then, this is one of Vangelis' earliest works, recorded whilst still a member of progressive rock band Aphrodite's Child.

Jean-Michel Jarre recorded the album 'Oxygène' in a makeshift studio that he set up in his apartment in Paris, using a variety of analog synthesizers, a digital synthesizer, and other electronic instruments and effects. Following the international success of the single "Oxygène (Part IV)", the album became Jarre's breakthrough.



Oxygène has been described as the album that "led the synthesizer revolution of the Seventies", and as "an infectious combination of bouncy, bubbling analog sequences and memorable hook lines".
