Walter/Wendy Carlos knew how to turn heads. The first head turner was "switched on Bach" the second was the controversial switch of sex and sexuality. The incredible rendering of Bach on the Moog Synthesizer gave the antiques a new and revered feeling. Some would argue that the synthesized versions of these compositions smeared the intentions of the original composer. However, those who know better would explain how this new synthesized world, with utmost respect for Bach, gave a new and even more interesting twist on the old classics.
