What is the first note/key of Mandelbrot Set?

It's a strange request, but I want to play some JoCo songs on the piano. I just suck at finding the notes. After I find it, I'm pretty good at finding my around no matter the key. I just get stuck on where to start. If you know the start note/key of future soon, that would bee cool too!

Mandelbrot Set starts on a E major vamp with the first melody note B.
Future Soon starts on a D major vamp with the first melody note A.

Good luck, and enjoy the adventure! I think you chose two reasonably difficult ones (in terms of getting the groove across, if nothing else), but that's all part of the fun.

The synth panned to the right starts out just holding an E. Then panned to the left you'll hear a rhythm guitar essentially playing an E2 chord. I think the way Jonathan plays it is with the top E string open and the 2nd string playing a high D on the 9th fret. On the piano, I would probably play 2 octaves of E with my left hand on the first beat, then on the second beat play an E2 chord (B right below middle C, E right above that, D right above that, emphasizing the D since that's the real melodic note in the riff). At 3.5 beats ("the and of 3") I would play the same chord, except move the D up to a G# to make a normal E major chord. I'm not at my piano right now but I think that should capture the gist of the riff and give you a base to start at.
