Jean Jacques Perrey
This piece is from the soundtrack to the documentary Moog (2004). Jean Jacques Perrey, in addition to having an infectious frown-smile, is a pioneer in space age pop and all things analog. He was a proponent of the Ondioline, an electronic keyboard instrument invented by Georges Jenny in the 1940s (and inspiration for the Stereloab song "Jenny Ondioline"). "E.V.A" has a very 60s Space Mountain feel and according to his website, it is Perrey's third favorite track because:
...it is timeless and futuristic. Also, it is a tribute to the first man who walked on the moon.
You can secure your own copy of the Moog sountrack here or on iTunes. If you like Moog-related sounds, it's worth your while. The GIF below will take you to Jean Jacques' netsite.
