Have you ever loved something, only to realize it’s a commercial flop or just obscure? What’s something that deserves more light than it got?

    It’s really fantastic and I’d buy a physical copy in whatever medium.

    Thought I didn’t know Wendy Carlos, went and looked, nope I’m familiar! What a badass, and what a cool mind she must have. Of course this came from the two of them, thanks for adding an additional little gem to a treasure from my childhood :)

      She’s a moog pioneer. And she collaborated with Al in '88.

      A lot of people don’t know that Al was on a Brian Wilson track in the early 1990s, “Let’s Stick Together” (it later became “The Waltz”).

        Yeah, I know her film score work (just by accident) a lot better than much else sadly. Looks like most of her library is unavailable on land, so to speak.

        And I think I DID know that cuz I used to have a neighbor who was both a super fan and a trivia wiz, lol.

        Definitely a supremely talented artist. The video of him conducting a Jr Orchestra is a lot of fun too, whatever he does, he really commits, which I’ve always admired.
