Switched-On Bach
Wendy Carlos, ‘Switched-On Bach’, 1968. A million seller from, then, Walter Carlos (who underwent a sex change in 1972). Simple idea: Bach tunes played on the newly invented Moog synth. Kitsch, futuristic, this album helped open the flood gates to electronics in music. She went on to do the soundtrack for the original ‘Tron’ movie.
