Excellent '70s strangeness: two songs by the Boston-based Orchestra Luna, who released one record of eccentric showtune-influenced music on Epic and then were dropped by the label. Produced by Rupert Holmes of "Pina Colada" fame, and it shows. Nevertheless, it's not a big stretch from this music to the Bonzo Dog Band or Slapp Happy. I thought I was a cult of one; thank god for the internet. The sound files below are from the website of Rick Berlin, who recorded under his given name Rick Kinscherf on the Orchestra Luna LP.
"Boy Scout Camp" [2.8 MB .mp3]
"Little Sam" [3.8 .mp3]
