Perrey was also responsible for the theme for the electric parade that happens nightly at Disneyland. His albums were great, using synthesizers for silliness and fun.

2016 has been even worse than you think. We lost Isao Tomita who made the wonderful album "Snowflakes Are Dancing." Also, Ray Wilson, DIY synth kit creator and owner of Music From Outer Space.
