© Jeff E.Winner	portrait above: Composer and Inventor RAYMOND SCOTT at Age 25 (1934)

"The work of musician, bandleader, composer, and inventor, Raymond Scott sounds like nothing so much as the-future." - Peter Buck, R.E.M. "Raymond Scott's musical genius should not be-overlooked." - John Flansburgh, They Might Be Giants "It's those front-line types that go into uncharted areas, and pave the way for others. Always go to the source, sources like Raymond-Scott." - Henry Rollins, Black Flag / Rollins Band "Being introduced to the music of Raymond Scott was like being given the name of a composer I feel I have heard my whole life, who until now was nameless. Clearly he is a major American-composer." - David Harrington, leader of the Kronos Quartet "The compositions of Raymond Scott are etched, it seems, into the fabric of 20th century culture like some strand of DNA sequence coding our collective memory for future-mutations." - Paul D. Miller, a.k.a. Dj Spooky that Subliminal Kid "As for millions of other kids raised on Bugs and Daffy, Raymond Scott's wonderful idiosyncratic music seeped into my childhood subconscious and never left. It became the abstract soundtrack to my-dreams." - David J, Bauhaus / Love & Rockets "It's cool music - powerful and attention-drawing. I love-it." - John Kricfalusi, creator of The Ren & Stimpy Show "Raymond Scott is arguably the most well-known and influential unknown composer since the 16th-Century." - Steve Schneider, author

"I grew up listening to Raymond Scott's music. My father played drums with Scott's band, so the music was very much in my head and musical atmosphere of our home. Raymond Scott has a position in musical hierarchy that's pretty high, an important place in American music." - John Williams, movie soundtrack composer (STAR WARS, INDIANA JONES, etc.) "Raymond Scott was definitely in the forefront of developing electronic music technology, and in the forefront of using it commercially as a-musician." - Bob Moog, inventor of MOOG synthesizers "What can you say about a man who inspired cartoon melodies and bebop, invented Frank Zappa and electronic music, and still found time to work for-Motown?" - Andy Partridge, songwriter & leader of XTC "Raymond Scott was like an audio version of Andy Warhol; he preceded Pop-Art sensibilities, and he played with that line between commercial art and fine art, mixing elements of both worlds together. I love and respect Raymond Scott's work, and it influenced me a lot. I'm a big fan.'' - Mark Mothersbaugh, DEVO "Raymond Scott's music gets better as it gets older. When it first appeared, it was so bizarre it could not be categorized. Now, it is no less innovative and comic, but it begins to occupy a serious role in our total music-appreciation." - Dick Hyman, musician "The music of Raymond Scott is positively exhilarating. Its intricacies mesmerize, because they're part of a unique and utterly disarming musical-tapestry." - Leonard Maltin, film historian & critic
