He was born in Brooklyn to a family of Russian-Jewish immigrants. Though Scott never scored cartoon soundtracks, his music is familiar to millions because of its adaptation by Warner Bros. In 1936, Scott formed the "Raymond Scott Quintette", hoping to revitalise swing music through tight, busy arrangements and reduced reliance on improvisation. He called this musical style "descriptive jazz," and gave his works titles like "New Year's Eve in a Haunted House," and "Dinner Music for a Pack of Hungry Cannibals" (recorded by the Kronos Quartet in 1993). It was these compositions that were sold to Warner Bros. in 1943.
Scott was an early experimenter with electronic music. In 1946 he established Manhattan Research, Inc. The lab developed some of the first devices capable of producing electronic tones automatically in sequence. Using such instruments, Scott recorded three ground-breaking albums designed to lull infants to sleep, Soothing Sounds for Baby, in 1964. The music, anticipating the ambient work of Tangerine Dream and Brian Eno, did not find much favour with the record-buying public of the day. Scott's electronic music for radio and television commercials was released posthumously as "Manhattan Research, Inc." in 2000.

Drop a funky break on it and you'll get early hardcore

Está el la Electronica que adopta el Funk en los 70s y empalma con la EDM (NRG & Synthpop) que inicia en 1977, tubo más evolución, pureza y ramificacion Eléctronica (House, Techno, Synthpop, NRG, Freestyle, Italo, New Beat, Trance, Electro, Ácid, Eurobeat...incluida la base electronica primaria de la referida "EBM" y lo más sofisticado de la Electro Industrial...esto obtuvo más evolución que el fallido intento del Krautrock (Kraftwerk) y los Rockeros Prog. (Involución Electrónica).

Really enjoyed! The sound reminded me a lot of Kraftwerk for example.

Jajaja...esto no es Krautrock (Kraftwerk).
Y si te recuerda a Kraftwerk es por qué ellos acoplan esta Música Electrónica (Post Concreta, Experimental & Moog) en sus Rock Prog. al igual que la masa de Rockeros.
La evolución de la música electrónica se darían con el inicio de la EDM Concreta (NRG & Synthpop) 1977 de Moroder y la Electronica de los productores y desarrolladores más sofisticados y revolucionarios de los 70s (Moroder, Jarre, Lacksman, Tangerine Dreams, YMO, Schulze, Vangelis, Faltermeyer, Tonet, Gizzi, Pinhas, Martin W. & Ian Craig...entre otros) que descienden pura y directamente de esta Electrónica.

Pedro Pola
Is this the first electronica (as the all encompassing term of electronic music (non-post modern in "feel") track in the history of music?
