The mother of all prog

[JKL2000]

I have a lot of respect for Wendy Carlos. If you've ever read her "blog" and the books from her boxed set, you know how brilliant she is.

And I have a lot of respect for anyone who makes a change like she did. It takes a ton of conviction, I imagine.

[Nijinsky Hind]

On her website Wendy is still referred to as "her" even before the gender change. Not once is "Walter" mentioned on there. You yourself said you think of her as a woman so why mention her as Walter? Maybe it's just me but that just seems wrong somehow.

I have albums by both of them... Eerily similar.

WRONG!

Well that must be the later version but not the current version which I'm sure doesn't say "Walter." But anyway, I was referring to the original version.

Lets not forget the other two of the Holy Trininty at the BBC Radiophonic workshop in the 50s and 60s though, John Baker and Brian Hodgson. And later on jazz man and egghead David Cain.

I’ve already gone on about my admiration of Brian Hodgson’s post-RW work at Electrophon Studios, in particular his two albums with John Lewis under the Wavemaker moniker. Where Are We Captain? is a must-hear for electronic enthusiasts.

This is a MUST HAVE CD, I've had it for years.

You can't re-invent the past. George Lucas tried that. The person who created the Clockwork Orange soundtrack had a pair of yarbles... Right-right droogs?

No.

Was Hodgons involved with the Zygoat album?

[Progbear]

Has anyone mentioned Daphne Oram yet?

Was Hodgons involved with the Zygoat album?

I don’t know how involved he was in Zygoat apart from having it recorded in his studio and maybe involvement in the production. My understanding is that it was largely/entirely the work of American composer Burt Alcantara.

I love the Doctor Who theme, particularly the original!
