In order to appreciate the magnitude of this musical achievement, one must realize that this was a lot harder to do before computers were widely available. Just for this one song, they had to record HUNDREDS of hours of barking dogs, then they had to run each bark through a variable-speed oscillator to identify the proper pitch so that they could edit the sounds into a song that fits in rhythm with the backing track.

The same white-coated men who ran the IBM mainframes for the Apollo program were no doubt contracted out to work on this magnus opus. In fact, I do not think I exaggerate when I state that The Singing Dogs was as important to music as the Manhattan Project was to the atomic bomb.

So True! And “Switched on Bach”, the first Moog Synthesizer album was also a wonder. Thousands of edits of single notes on TAPE, all patched together to become a Brandenburg Concerto!

Those ere the days!
