The duo's second album, as the title indicates, had them adding a Moog synthesizer to their Ondioline and electric keyboards. It was still largely devoted to kitschy electro treatments of standards on the order of &Strangers in the Night,& &Lover's Concerto,& &Third Man Theme,& &Winchester Cathedral,& and &Moon River.& There was more of a sense of pop orchestration on selections like &Umbrellas of Cherbourg& and the eerie &Carousel of the Planets,& with their theremin-like tones; there were also rock beats on &Lover's Concerto& and &Pioneers of the Stars,& the last of which didn't sound too far removed from the futuristic instrumentals of Joe Meek proteges the Tornados. The entire album was included on the Vanguard Perrey-Kingsley box set The Out Sound From Way In! The Complete Vanguard Recordings.
