Hard as it is to believe, George Harrison, guitar picker, was also an electronic music pioneer, as these two lengthy, abstract tone poems for early-vintage Moog synthesizer reveal. A naif in the electronic sphere, George had a lot of help putting this music together, particularly from California electronic composer Bernie Krause.
Dramatically structured, unearthly in its pitch-less writhing, flamboyantly manipulating pink and white noise from the opening electronic gun battle onward, "No Time or Space" is an entertaining listening experience, and some of its passages would turn up later in the "I Remember Jeep" jam from Harrison's All Things Must Pass.
The shorter "Mersey Wall," recorded in Harrison's Esher bungalow with his own Moog, is a low-key, drifting, less theatrical affair.
Though scoffed at when they were released, these pieces can hold their own along side more seriously regarded electronic composers.
And when you consider that synthesisers were only capable of playing one note at a time and sounds could not be stored or recalled with the push of a button, the achievement becomes even more remarkable.
Alas, George never followed up on this direction, which, like the Zapple label, was abandoned after this release.
