Good times.

I'd just seen "A Clockwork Orange" again recently and was blown away by how effective Carlos' synthesizer music score was, how eerie and menacing and otherworldly. Genius at work.

1. My dear Mayberry Machiavelli!
We have that album too!

I remember when it was issued, and what a revelation it was!

Good times, indeed...

2. Recently picked this one up at the thrift for $1
Boy did I get my money's worth! I've always been a fan of the Clockwork Orange soundtrack, but hadn't heard this one all the way through until I got the LP. So glad I did... :D

3. "Timesteps" from the 2nd "Clockwork Orange" soundtrack remains one of the finest pieces
of electronic music to date, if not THE finest.

4. I have that vinyl somewhere with the 'Walter Carlos' cover.

I should find that - it's first edition too.
