Manhattan Research Inc. is a 2000 double-CD compilation on Dutch label Basta, drawing from the Raymond Scott archive at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. Scott pioneered electronic music composition from the late 1950s onward, building custom synthesizers and producing electronic jingles for Sprite, IBM, Gillette, and others. Most of these recordings were never intended for public release.
