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. mike knudsen ihnss!knudsen
