5.0 out of 5 stars Scott? Sounds like Brian Eno!!, March 30, 2001

"Little miss echo" sounds as if it could have come off of one of Brian Eno's ambient albums. The same sensibility of slowly shifting synth tones is here. The pieces in this series vary from incredibly ahead of their time to witty (toy typewriter) to merely annoying. The fact that they were made in the early 60's shows what an original thinker Scott was. A tip: I first listened to this series on a small boombox. That was a mistake. When I played it on my main stereo system with my amps spread throughout my house, the effect was surrealistic and mindbending.

5.0 out of 5 stars World's 1st Ambient Electronic albums!?, July 21, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Soothing Sounds For Baby: Electronic Music By Raymond Scott, Vol. 3, 12 To 18 Months (Audio CD)

Composed & performed by RAYMOND SCOTT on primitive home-built electronic instruments which SCOTT began to design & build in the 1940s. As ambient electronic music, these albums predate -- yet are comparable to; BRIAN ENO/FRIPP, PHILIP GLASS, APHEX TWIN, & KRAFTWERK. The 3 vinyl albums were originally released by Epic & had been out-of-print for over 35 years!

I found this to be the weakest by far of the three SSfB CDs. I recommend either Vol 1 or 2 (four stars) before this volume.
