A Clockwork Orange: Wendy Carlos's Complete Original Score

Wendy Carlos

East Side Digital, 1998

Scary, yet wonderful! A real horrorshow!
This album contains all the tracks that were originally suppose to be in the movie. However, Kubrick chose to alternate between the synth versions and classic orchestra. I think that if all these versions made by Wendy were in the movie, in my opinion, the film would ...

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. The performances hold up and the arrangements make the most of the material. This is Bach, after all, ...

Switched-On Boxed Set

Johann Sebastian Bach, George Frederick Handel, ...

East Side Digital, 1999

A few thoughts on the SOBoxed....
I just happened upon this set of reviews on Amazon (although I had reviewed the original SOB separately years ago), and was delighted at the multitude of very favorable reviews by others. But then came the weeds amongst the fruit, namely those few reviews by people who ...

Switched-On Bach

Johann Sebastian Bach, Wendy Carlos

East Side Digital, 2001

40 years later it's STILL great
even though it's been 40 years since it was released, Switched on Bach by Wendy (formerly Walter) Carlos is one of the best musical performances ever recorded. Anyone even remotely into classical music would enjoy this CD. I had this as a kid (on a record - ask your ...

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. Synthesizers were my high school fascination and I'd already discovered Tomita's "Pictures at an Exhibition" & Wendy's (then Walter Carlos') "Switched on Bach". But ...

Tron

Wendy Carlos

EMI Gold, 2006

A Soundtrack Where The Music Takes You to Another World
As someone who is a big fan of movie soundtracks and in particular of film scores, I initially took an interest in the "TRON" film score when browsing Amazon for another film CD and just happened to come across the "TRON" soudtrack. After checking out the short sound ...

Scary Music

Kunzel, Cincinnati Pops Orchestra

Telarc, 2002

Great compilation
I though I owned all the Halloween music to be found. But this one has some new ones and old ones done differently. I highly recommend it.

Video Games Live, Vol. 1

Peter Griffin, Wendy Carlos, ...

Angel Records, 2008

As if you were there.
Having been at the Seattle show in 2005, I can say that this album does the concert justice. Wall and Tallarico are worthy heralds of the music. Reccommended to all who appreciate fine symphonic compositions.

Stanley Kubrick's Clockwork Orange (1971 Film)

Various Artists, Ludwig van Beethoven, ...

Warner Bros. Pictures / Sunset Strategic Marketing (SSM), 1990

Prisoner 6 double-five 3-2-1
The soundtrack album of CLOCKWORK ORANGE, even with it's simple (and supposedly) outdated Wendy Carlos recordings, holds up far better than the actual film has over these 36 years. This story takes place in the 1990s, and we all know that today's world is nothing like ...

The Well-Tempered Synthesizer

Wendy Carlos

East Side Digital, 2001

Fantastic music for relaxation
I loved listening to this when I was growing up. I was very glad to find it on CD. A very nice CD to listen to to relax.

Rediscovering Lost Scores, Vol. 2

Wendy Carlos, Wendy / Elkind, Rachel Carlos, ...

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 ...

Tron

Jonathan / Schon, Neil Cain, Wendy Carlos, ...

Disney, 2002

EXCELLENT!
Etant fan de "TRON", j'ai eu un trés grand plaisir a posséder la BOF de Wendy Carlos.La musique est tous simplement génial et un grand MERCI pour AMAZON.CA ,car sans eux, mon réve devenez impossible.

Switched-On Brandenburgs

Johann Sebastian Bach, Wendy Carlos

East Side Digital, 2002

Wonderful from Beginning to End!
Concerto #3 was incredible on the original Switched-On Bach album, and remains one of the best performances in this collection. Concerto #4 is from the Well-Tempered Synth. #5 from Switched-On Bach II. I tried hard to pick up the "glitch" mentioned by the other ...

Beauty in the Beast

Wendy Carlos

East Side Digital, 2003

The end of a long period of Tragic Unavailability
I have proudly owned a copy of the first release of this CD all these years. It is the best example I know of an utterly brilliant recording being tragically unavailable. As other reviewers note, the tuning does sound strange at first, but then one realizes how ...
