gypsy-tail-windDie LP hier steht wohl immer noch im Regal meiner Eltern:
Die brauch ich noch, aber das Cover von 1973 ist cooler.:) Übrigens mit Linernotes von Robert A. Moog. Ich bin ja überrascht, wie relativ originalgetreu das umgesetzt ist, hatte mit mehr „Rockifizierung“ gerechnet. Auf den Streaming-Plattformen fehlt „Switched-On Bach“ übrigens, es gibt nichtmal „Bootlegs“ auf Youtube.
Wendy Carlos has refused online distribution. In fact, she’s basically given the middle finger to the entire music and film world, too. She is extremely talented. Yet she got increasingly bitter toward pretty much everything in the first years of the 2000’s. Nobody has seen or heard from her in the past 10 years, that I can find. She is a sad, bitter old soul who feels like synth technology didn’t progress the way she felt it should, and is extremely bitter toward the synth world for it. She could have rode the analog wave and had a real resurgence with her career – but instead she is most likely hunkered down with her cats, and possibly in ill health. Nobody knows, because she doesn’t talk publicly any more. She has made her disdain known about analog synths tho, saying she moved on from it and it’s limitations long ago …. and she has been so nasty in her bitterness that it’s hard to continue supporting her. This is why you can’t get her catalog anywhere digitally. No matter how good the offer is, it’s not good enough for her.
