A slight mistake in the product listing. The actual name of the composer/arranger is Walter Carlos.

I have not yet received any of those CD purchased, but the thing that makes me even more arrabiare is that I have not yet had no report from you in this regard.

This album is great and speaks for itself, but get the story straight about the composer, who was born Walter Carlos. After Switched-On Bach and A Clockwork Orange, Walter underwent a sex-change operation and became Wendy. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

I’d hate for people to stop by this selection and read a previous comment/”review” here and be mislead to believe that they are not buying a product from the true artist. That person is partially correct that Walter Carlos was the name the original credit for the work was given to, but that was due to prejudices of the time. WENDY Carlos, is NOT a misprint. She is the composer of these great works. Walter was a psuedonym, just like that any other artist. In Wendy’s case, due to sexism, it was a necessity to have a pseudonym, until the societal climate and “composers boys’ club”, if you will, was open to accept her as a legitmate composer using her own name. So fans of this soundtrack and other Wendy Carlos/Walter Carlos works, please know that it is the same person and you will do yourselves a great disservice to avoid one or the other, due to confusion about the name.
With that out of the way, the soundtrack to this film is one of the greatest of all time, combining beautiful and fresh original works, with inspired interpretations of classics by composers such as Bach. For the first time ever, Wendy’s ENTIRE score is presented for us all to enjoy. Previous versions of this release had abridged portions of certain pieces. Carlos is one of the forerunners of electronic music and pushing forward film music as we know it today. Whether you listen to this score with the picture or listen to it alone, it is still like nothing out there in the years before or since. Still haunting, joyous, and terrifying all at once. And you will remember it for years to come, as I have. If you love Wendy’s work, you should also check out her work with Kubrick “The Shining”, as welll as “Tron”. There are also a number of non-soundtrack works she has created under both the Walter and Wendy names, which will also make you very happy.

Sound synthesized… um, music, at its best! And, for one of the Greatest Movies Ever! Ah, A Clockwork Orange… and it went to The French Connection? Kubrick put his heart into it! You little- oh… never mind. I become carried away after a bit.
Cheerio.
