Perrey and Kingsley were a pioneering electronic music duo composed of the French composer and musician Jean-Jacques Perrey (1929–2016) and the German-American composer and engineer Gershon Kingsley (1922–2019). Their collaboration began in the mid-1960s, at a time when electronic music was still a nascent field, and they quickly became known for their innovative use of Moog synthesizers, Ondiolines, and other electronic instruments. They blended a whimsical sense of humor with complexly layered melodies, chiseling out a unique space within the genre that could be called "baroque pop synthesizer music."

Their groundbreaking work included a series of albums that paved the way for future genres such as synth-pop and electronic dance music. The 1966 release "The In Sound From Way Out!" epitomizes their pioneering fusion of electronic sounds with pop sensibilities, and it has gone on to influence countless musicians. Their follow-up project, "The Out Sound From Way In!", continued in this vein, offering mesmerizingly quirky tunes that were both accessible and avant-garde. "Vanguard Visionaries," as the name suggests, highlighted their trailblazing contributions to music, while "Space Age Computer Music" and "The Electronic Pop Songs" further solidified their legacy as one of the earliest purveyors of electronic music to the masses. Perrey and Kingsley's partnership was short-lived but profound, as they managed to carve out a whimsical, futuristic soundscape that continues to inspire to this day.
