''Electronic Sound'' is the second studio album by George Harrison. Originally released in 1969, it was the second and final record released on the Beatles' short-lived Zapple Records label, a subsidiary of Apple Records. The album comprises two lengthy pieces performed on the Moog synthesizer. Harrison subsequently introduced the instrument to the Beatles' sound; the band featured synthesizer for the first time on their 1969 album ''Abbey Road''. The first digital edition of ''Electronic Sound'' appeared on CD in 1996. Digital editions use a different track order from some of the original vinyl LP copies. ==History== Zapple was intended as a creative outlet for avant-garde musical works. Not long after the release of this album, the label was folded at the insistence of the Beatles' then-manager Allen Klein. Because of its experimental and highly non-commercial nature, ''Electronic Sound'' failed to chart in the United Kingdom, and barely made the United States ''Billboard'' 200 album chart, peaking at number 191. Synthesist Bernie Krause later pursued legal action against Harrison, claiming that "No Time Or Space" (LP side two) was essentially a recording of him demonstrating the Moog III to Harrison (this is detailed in Krause's book ''Into a Wild Sanctuary''). Krause also claimed that the demonstration was recorded and released without his knowledge or consent. Krause's name was originally credited on the front cover under Harrison's cover credit, but it was painted over at Krause's insistence.〔http://astronautapinguim.blogspot.co.uk/2012/12/five-questions-to-bernie-krause.html〕 Despite this, the words "Assisted by Bernie Krause" can still be read from under the silver ink on original LP pressings. The music was performed on a Moog IIIc modular system which Harrison bought from directly from Robert Moog. The synthesizer is still owned by the Harrison family and is pictured in the centre photo spread on the 2014 CD reissue. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Electronic Sound」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
