Buchlabaisse: Morton Subotnick's 'Silver Apples of the Moon' Gets First-Ever Vinyl Reissue, 500 Copies on Boomkat

Morton Subotnick's 1967 classic album Silver Apples of the Moon may have created a new foundation of electronic music, yet it hasn't be available on vinyl since it first came out in 1967.

However, lucky for us freaks and geeks of the electro-music landscape, the newly remastered version of the iconic album will be pressed on heavyweight vinyl and made into an exclusive 500-copy edition of the groundbreaking disc.

The music was given legs on a Buchla modular synthesizer, making it the first electronic record released by a classical music label, which heralded a wave of synthetic music exploration, conceiving new sounds and conjuring up new musical color.

In light of Charles Cohen's newly excavated Buchla Recordings, the timing of this release couldn't be more perfect.

With a burgeoning scene (apparently coming to life much earlier than the 2000s) of electro DJs, the new disc will refresh the masses on what modular synths can create in the repressive genre of electronic musical flow.

Find the reissue on Boomkat and get a new copy for your turntables, before it runs out forever.
