Comments:  Song of the Second Moon by Kid Baltan (indeed Dick Raaijmakers) is from 1957!
The record that you are refering to is a late sixties re-release with a strange mixture of pieces from various earlier records, including the 7 inch "Song of the second moon", the 7 inch "Electronic Movements" (1959) by Tom Dissevelt with Baltan as technician, and the 12 inch "Fantasy in Orbit from 1964, also by Dissevelt but now with anaother technician.
On the re-release most of the titles have been changed, and also the group name "Elektrosoniks" is a name that was put on the record without the knowledge of the Dutch composers.
AT this moment I am working on an official 4 CD release together with Dick Raaijmakers of all these songs and lots of other previously unreleased material, all by using the orginal 30 inch/sec mono mastertapes.

more information will be updated on my website:
