Scott, Raymond

Soothing Sounds For Baby Vol 3 (12 to 18 Months)

Label: Basta Country: Netherlands

Originally produced in 1963 under the auspices of the Gesell Institute of Child Development, Inc., these "aural toys" were created in the belief that a young child's sense of hearing is better developed than many people realize

"As promised, Scott has grown along with your child. His third and final volume of infant electronica brings together the sleepy melodies and repetitions of the first record with the absorbing rhythms of the second. The music is sophisticated and complete--active musical play perfect for a toddler struggling with the associative prelearning of childhood. Volume 3 also brings Scott full circle within his own musical progression, with the triumphant march of "Tin Soldier" suggesting a reduced reading of his much-loved standard "The Toy Trumpet." Ticklish "Little Miss Echo" is endlessly charming, exploring the rainbow of peculiar futuristic sounds at Scott's fingertips, while "The Playful Drummer" returns to the zany cartoon-jazz humor of his roots and looks toward the modern techno sounds of Scott's innumerable admirers and imitators."-Gil Gershman
