Can't resist congratulating PDS, author of Article 67.
He nutshelled the plot of "Forbidden Planet" perfectly,
but got another title!  I think I've seen that title
(Journey to Planet X) in TV listings, tagged as not-worth

staying-up-past-10:30 PM.
Or could FP have been re-issued under different title,
as is often done?  I doubt it, because it was pretty succesful
the first run (or was it?).
I'll bet PDS he/she got the titles crossed up in memory.

By the way, FP's sound track did use electronic "music" --
but mostly percussive & other weird effects (dripping-water, etc)
made by (?) lashed-up circuits -- I don't recall what the gear was
like they used (I read papers when I was 11, but can't remember anything).
Columbia Records did build a piano-roll-controlled synthesizer,
a truly general instrument desrving the name,
whose technology suggests it may have existed back then (early 50's)
and may have been used in FP.
