Orgue Electronique

Orgue Electronique is often mentioned by me on here, but probably still not enough to give credit for his creative efforts. Any half decent electro music compilation would probably feature at least one of his tracks, and its worth you looking for his work!

The reason I mention Brian Chinetti aka Orgue Electronique today is I've had the 'On A String' track stuck in my head for a good few days now, and could not remember where I had heard it, or whose track it is! How many times does that happen? Only this morning when I woke up that I realised that its an Orgue Electronique track!

Well, check the Orgue Electronique website out, there's a great pic of him with his synths on the Bio section of the site, and details of the source of Brian Chinetti's musical love:

"When Brian Chinetti aka Orgue Electronique heard Planet Rock for the first time on a local US airforce radio station he realized 1+1 = 1. The Jarre and Kraftwerk records his mother would play to make him play quietly with his toys, and this refreshing new music referred to as ‘electro’ was in essence the exact same thing: music made with synthesizers and drum computers. The urge to make electronic music was born."

A story so true of most people now into electro music, showing how important radio is! :)

I'm particularly taken by the 'unfinished(?)' track 'Stairway To The Ocean'.

I heard "Planet Rock" for the first time in a roller-skating rink. But it was also a transformative experience...

my friend played the same Juno that planet rock was originally created with. Pretty dope. As close as I ever got to Arthur Baker was outside a couple parties in Miami and Brooklyn but at least I got to shake his hand. Hell that hand was in Blondie ;]
