LES BAXTER CHOPIN Prelude in E Minor MOOG ROCK 1968

LES BAXTER "MOOG ROCK" Greatest Classical Hits 1968
CHOPIN PRELUDE IN E-MINOR

In the late 60's Les Baxter stepped into synthesizer music which became popular after Walter/Wendy Carlos' Switched On Bach.
After Carlos switched on bach became successful, various musicians like Claude Denjean, Hot Butter, Christopher Scott etc. releases similar albums with music mainly played on synthesizers.

Today the music sounds cheesy and the mixing of easy-listening modular-synth fiddling is more than antiquated, but that's what make it so matchless.

Where did you find all of the Wally Wood illustrations?

[cosmocorps2000]

@rxtuner I googled them some years ago.

WOW..this is like cake with extra vanilla frosting to the max!

What sci-fi comic is that from?

I'm in love with it~

[cosmocorps2000]

Thanks the comments. The first pic is from the comic to the series UFO (as posted by themachinestops). All others are various images from the great Wally Wood.

It sounds so dated considering the technology we have now.

Poor People of Paris might have been les baxter not this guy..

[cosmocorps2000]

Yes it's dated. But in the 60's there was no Midi, Synch, etc. only modular synths with patchcords. So it takes hours/weeks of work to make electronic music. Today we have technology, which they never dreamed, and what's the result? 90% commercial music for jerks and 10% who wants the perfect imitation of analogue synths to make a poor imitation of the past. A bit confusing!

[Dogsledfan]

Personally, I think analog synths made far better music than the solid state digital stuff nowadays. Having been through electronics techn, I far prefered to work with discrete analog components. I was always playing around making mini analog synths during my studies. Of late, my interests have reverted to the more traditional accoustical instruments. However, sometimes I like to "escape" to the Switched-On era - when Wendy was still Walter Carlos. Now if THAT doesn't give away my age...

Sounds SOoooooooo similar to Radiohead - Exit music (for a film). My god its almost uncanny.

This is not dated its timeless a bit like Walter/Wendy Carlos Clarks A Clockwork Orange soundtrack. That Retro futuristic soundtrack.
