When I first heard this album a few years ago, I honestly was a little disappointed. To summarize the review I posted at that time (which Amazon was kind enough to remove at my request), I felt the album to be a little contrived. It felt "overworked" to my ears, as it ...             Switched-On Bach II Johann Sebastian Bach, Wendy Carlos East Side Digital, 2002 Staggering for the time, holds up well today Switched-On Bach II (along with The Well-Tempered Synthesizer) really shows what the analogue Moog gear could do in the hands of people who knew what they were doing.

East Side Digital, 2005 Finally and Fulfilling! Believe the hype, _Shining_ fans. These bits and pieces of music - volume 1 focuses more on "studio music and textures" of the themes devised for the film while volume 2 spends its allotted tracks on the more fully developed orchestra tracks - hold just about ...             Switched-On Boxed Set Johann Sebastian Bach, George Frederick Handel, ... East Side Digital, 1999 Admit it, they're good! I remember back in the late sixties the original LP of "Switched on Bach" started showing up in record stores and causing quite a storm. Of course, being the proper musical snob and "purist" I was, I discounted them as being nothing better sounding than "tuned rubber ...             Sonic Seasonings + [Enhanced CD] Wendy Carlos East Side Digital, 2003 Amazing Audio Journey I first discovered this wonderful album as a two disk vinyl set checked out from the public library.

It's not inconceivable to me that someone who has spent a lifetime listening to a broad range of music could prefer Carlos's debut recording of Switched-On Bach to the collection, but from any objective viewpoint it IS indefensible. Not only has Carlos brought to bear ...             Telarc Collection, Vol. 4 Johann Sebastian Bach, Samuel Barber, ... Telarc, 1992 On the contrary!
