Reviews
Wendy Carlos's Switched-On Bach is the type of entry that keeps me coming back to the 33 1/3 series. Khesti's work has completely opened up my mind and understanding of what the Moog should be as a musical instrument and what Wendy Carlos hoped to accomplish by recording music as she did. * Bearded Gentleman Music *
Roshanak Kheshti, the author of the new 33 1/3 book series entrant Wendy Carlos's Switched-On Bach, says Carlos was and remains a "foundational presence" to electronic music-and that the brief public acknowledgements she often garners today fall far short of the full story. * Reverb *
