Bach
- Trans-Electronic Music Productions, Inc. Presents Switched-On Bach (1968)
I was really confused as to where to put this album. Although the compositions on this album were created by Bach, the performance of the pieces are less than traditional. This album was realized and performed electronically by Water Carlos with the assistance of Benjamin Folkman. I don't really know if this album does justice to Bach, because I am ignorant of classical music, and that includes his work. I do know however, that this electronic version of his music is very playful on the ear. I like to entertain my ear and this does the job. I first bought this album because it was Walter Carlos' work. The soundtrack to A Clockwork Orange inroduced me to his musical interprettations and I enjoyed them very much. I do not recommend this album to people who cannot handle synthesizers or electronic sounds.Here's to Newman's and Sam.
