Dr. Samuel J. Hoffman

The Theremin

Three out-of-print and long-sought albums featuring the ethereal sound of the THEREMIN are being reissued by Basta in a boxed set. MUSIC OUT OF THE MOON, PEACE OF MIND, and PERFUME SET TO MUSIC have been digitally cleaned and have never sounded more beautiful. The music, by famed composer Harry Revel, is performed on MOON and PERFUME by Exotica icon Les Baxter, and on PEACE OF MIND by bandleader Billy May. On all three albums, the eerie-sounding Theremin is played by the legendary Dr. Samuel J. Hoffman, wizard of the instrument. Liner notes were penned by Albert Glinsky, currently finishing a Theremin history book, "Out of Thin Air" (University of Illinois Press). The CD booklet includes many rare photographs.
