After the intro to Flickr, I was very pleased to find as photos original record covers of my musical devotion, Karheinz Stockhausen. Stockhausen is still alive - about 80 years old now - and is to my appreciation the foremost innovator in realization of electronic music. His work bears a sophistication unmatched. If you have ever wondered about a resonating electronic sound in any avante garde music, you are hearing the reverberation of Karlheinz Stockhausen. Stockhausen as much as said, "Use electricity to MAKE A SOUND" in 1956. Add also the very art itself of highly kinetic stereo imaging - through quad and even octophonic potential. I consider Stockhausen a genius. Here is a hyperlink to a photograph of an original record cover for Gesange der Jünglinge, 1956.
