Moog Indigo

The album includes versions of the play Hello, Dolly! by Jerry Herman[2] and "Flight of the Bumblebee" by Russian composer Rimsky Korsakov, this last version used real bee sounds.[3][4][5][6] According to Perrey in a 1993 autobiography, he recorded the bees sounds in a hive from Switzerland with his Nagra tape recorder. And when he returned to New York City, he used the recorded sound of bees, and he spent a total of 46 hours cutting and gluing tiny pieces of magnetic tape (1.03 centimeters long) for the version. As at that time, only 4-track recorders existed, Caroll awarded to him a 4-track Scully machine to complete the track.[7]

"Gossipo Perpetuo", a version of Moto Perpetuo written by the Italian composer Niccolo Paganini,[8] which used choppy vocal samples and various Moog settings going up and down the scale, as the changing congas and drums hit a samba beat.[9] "The Elephant Never Forgets", an adaptation on the "Turkish March" composed by Ludwig van Beethoven,[10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] which gained popularity in much of Latin America for being used as the main theme of the Mexican program El Chavo del Ocho.[1]

"18th Century Puppet", a track based on the tune named "Romanze: Andante" from the serenade for strings No. 13 known as Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, composed and written by the Austrian composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. "Passport to the Future", a version of the 1967 song "Seuls su Monde" sung by Mireille Mathieu, with influences of the Joe Meek's hit "Telstar".[22]
