American studio project led by Hugo Montenegro (1925-1981) and other arrangers in the late 1960s and 1970s. Featured Moog synthesizer covers of contemporary pop, classical, and film music. Part of the late-1960s and 1970s "Moog" exotica/easy-listening fad sparked by Wendy Carlos's Switched-On Bach (1968).
Released Music from Star Wars (1977) and Music from the Empire Strikes Back (1980), early Moog-synthesizer covers of John Williams's scores. Records credited to the Electric Moog Orchestra typically feature uncredited Moog players (Mike Melvoin being a likely candidate).
