The "missing element" and, actually, the inspiration subject is "Unheralded Classics of Electronic Music" as embossed on every foil-stamp. 1948–1981 – yes, those dates on the foil-seal as well... October 5th, 1948, the ORTF (Office de Radiodiffusion Télévision Française) broadcast Pierre Schaeffer's "Cinq Etudes de Bruits" – hailed by many as the birthdate of musique concrète and subsequently electronic music composition as we know it. Explaining the "cutoff" of 1981 let's just say that 1981 is exactly half-way between the launch of the Fairlight CMI(Computer Musical Instrument ($25,000, 16kbs... just a note) in 1979 and the Yamaha DX7, featured a whole new type of synthesis called FM (Frequency Modulation), in 1983 – both synonymous with the onset of the "digital" era... or possibly this margin date was chosen owing to E-mu's Fairlight inspired E-mulator, 1981, a sampling keyboard by Dave Rossum and Scott Wedge.
Since I've written so many letters as regards Creel Pone and it's subject of exploration, you might have understoond – I've adopted this theme for my own research... and promise to inform you on time in my Four Reverbs Podcast, special serie marked with "PRE-SET". Unheralded Classics of Electronic Music. Look for updates.
For Creel Pone's "releases" purchase go to Mimaroglu Music Sales or Volcanic Tongue.
