Review: 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 m... |

Review: Nothing scary:So dissappointed in every single track. I was looking forward to 'better than TV' sound quality. Yes, that is about all you get. The arrangements are overblown and goofy, like a stereo cartoon soundtrack. If they had stayed with the orignal arrangements of all the t... |

Review: Interesting Audio Documentary:This CD is an audio documentary - written and narrated by Wendy Carlos. It is also a "hypertext-enhanced" CD (i.e., there is web content on the CD as well as Audio). The included web site contains a lot of supplemental material - such as her program ... |
