Let's do the Erlenmeyer. Singing Science Records, with song titles like Zoom A Little Zoom or E-lec-tri-city. Fantastic collection of MP3s. Credits go again to WeltamDraht. The Singing Science lyrics were very Atomic Age, while the tunes were generally riffs on popular or genre music of the time. We played them incessantly. 8:09:55 AM     |

Let's do the Robot. Cocktail Music for Robots - an LP Cover Gallery of the Music of the Future, from 1959 (1, 2, 3). Fab. Thanks to WeltamDraht! 8:01:56 AM     |

Sweet Jane. It's live, comes with the complete intro by Messieurs Dick Wagner and Steve Hunter, and can be found on this website [MP3, 9.8MB], amongst other superb Old Fart Music. This is a record to be played loud. Like a Formula One car, it doesn't really begin to perform until it's pushed close to the limit. As background music it isn't much, but powered up on a strong system loud enough to make enemies a quarter-mile away, Rock n Roll Animal -- recorded live at Lou Reed's Academy of Music concert December 21st, 1973 -- is, well, very fine.
