There are a lot of funny things happening on this album. First of all: this album is completely performed on a Moog modular synthesizer system. 1969, people. Synthesizer-adaptations of classical compositions. This is way before the days of MIDI sequencers and it took a lot of professionalism to complete this album. Also: Glenn Gould (one of the most important pianists of the 20th century) called Carlos' versions of the Brandenburg Concerto (present on this album) 'the finest performance of any of the Brandenburgs'.Incredibly playful album and definitely worth a spin. Note: Walter underwent a sex change three years later and is since known as Wendy Carlos.
