Nethersei performs the music of Raymond Scott in Man Vs Machine format,
quintette vs electronium.
This is also the debut of Nethersei's Powerhouse Quintette.
This program is to celebrate Raymond Scott's catalogue of eclectic music, a pure love message to the RS family and archives.
Includes a beginning tribute to Gordon Goodwin.

When Raymond Scott organized his Quintette, they were an overnight hit. The original RSQ created a sensation during its brief existence, and left a lasting impact on music history. Scott composed "portraits in music," programmatic novelties with eccentric titles like "War Dance for Wooden Indians," "Reckless Night on Board an Ocean Liner," and "In an 18th Century Drawing Room." Warner Bros. music director Carl Stalling later adapted a dozen tunes from this group's repertoire in hundreds of classic Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoons. Thus, the RSQ's legacy--quite apart from the bandleader's own efforts--was preserved for future generations. One title, "Powerhouse," has become a staple of cartoon fare, having been used in The Simpsons, Ren & Stimpy, SpongeBob SquarePants, and The Animaniacs, as well as in 40 anarchic WB shorts and several major motion pictures.
Nethersei, or James Flournoy, wanted to create an all-string quintette dedicated to the work and eclectic pieces of Raymond Scott, under the supervision of Kilgore High School orchestral director Sherry Wilkins. He plans to debut "His Powerhouse Quintette" live on April 22 for this album. Melody's Screwball is a project beyond bounds, created out of love and passion for the works and creations by Raymond Scott, Manhattan Research Inc., The Jingle Workshop, Three Willow Park, and Reckless Night Music LLC.

The songs preformed here will be recorded seperately for a studio recording; insuring the best quality possible.
