The Origins of the Futurama Theme

I discovered this little gem a few weeks ago and I kept putting off posting it, but today seemed like as good a day as any to post it(as I am working on a longer post).

I love electronic music of almost every stripe, from the early pioneers to those working in the field today, and sitting astride that history is Pierre Henry, who in 1967 wrote a piece of music with Michel Colombier called Psyche Rock, which became the loving basis of the Futurama theme song.

It certainly makes me want to whip out my Futurama boxsets or build a larcenous, booze-swilling robot.
