The 1956 soundtrack to sci-fi classic 'Forbidden Planet' is possibly one of the best known,
yet least owned pieces of tape music in history. Long unavailable on vinyl, it's definitively
evocative 'electronic tonalities' were crafted by husband/wife duo Louis and Bebe Barron using the
earliest tape recording techniques. Louis, a playwright, and Bebe, a researcher for Life magazine
had gained some experience with tape through an early Telefunken model given by a German
friend as a wedding present. When the couple moved to New York's artistic haven,
Greenwich Village around 1950 they encountered John Cage who commissioned them and their
tape machine to work with him and David Tudor, resulting one year later in Cage's Williams Mix, a
four minute composition comprised from spliced fragments of over 600 recordings. Because they
were one of a very select few to own such equipment at the time, their studio was frequently visited
by the likes of Pierre Boulez, Stockhausen, and Edgard Varèse, while their writing connection also
lead to them making spoken-word recordings of Anais Nin, Henry Miller, Aldous Huxley and Tennessee Williams.
Commissions for IBM and Ford followed, before a meeting with MGM's Dore Schary lead to the
creation of the 'Forbidden Planet' soundtrack, which at the time was considered by John Cage
to be "disgustingly orchestral and musical" and ironically not even recognized as music by the
Musicians' Union who decreed it be credited as "Electronic Tonalities". At the time, MGM didn't
even release the original soundtrack, instead opting for an orchestrated version of the theme
by the David Rose Orchestra, which begs the question what may have come if the general public
at large were able to own a copy of the fantastical sounds they had just been exposed to at the
cinema, and what this may have inspired from them, and Louis and Bebe Barron? Aside from
a slight pressing fault at the start of Side B in 'Krell Shuttle Ride and Power Station', the mastering
and sound recreation by Norman Blake is faithful and near flawless, enhancing what
is surely one of the most essential purchases of the year for fans of electronic music.
