Next album =Soothing Sounds for Baby is a three-volume set of ambient
electronic music by American composer, musician, and inventorRaymond Scott . Scott originally intended to lull infants to sleep with the music, but later generations have found value in the music for its minimalist aspects, often comparing it to the works ofBrian Eno ,Kraftwerk andTangerine Dream despite having predated such artists by as much as a decade.Originally released in 1964 in collaboration with the Gesell Institute of Child Development [cite album-notes

The music gets more complex with each volume. Scott created much of the music on the albums with instruments he created, such as theElectronium and theClavivox . "Particularly on Soothing Sounds for Baby, Scott proved to be one of the first composers to merge the Brave New World of electronic sounds with a rhythmic pop sensibility."cite album-notes
