Anyone else remember the album Switched on Bach where Bach's music was played on a Moog?

I still play my copy on a regular basis, although I more often listen to Switched on Brandenburgs.

"Switched on Bach"

Yup - still have the album.
Of course, once Brian Eno came around everything changed....

That was my intro to electronic music way back when. Rather influential during my formative years. Led to one highlight of getting a personal tour, in my early teens, of the synthesizer lab at the Syracuse University music college - a truly impressive experience.

Amazing that much of modern electronic music (techno/trance in particular) really doesn’t sound that much different, just with better equipment and more refined style.

I do, it’s one of my favorites. It’s still available but doesn’t have the same cover as the original with Bach in front of the Moog.
