Music From Star Wars

The Electric Moog Orchestra

The 1977 release leans on the novelty of the Moog modular system to change how audiences heard soundtrack adaptations at the time. It replaces traditional arrangements with neon tones that feel like a visit to a vintage arcade.

This record reflects the electronic pop trends of the late seventies through its focus on DIY synthesis. It functions as a campy translation of movie music into a futuristic machine language for home listeners.
