In 1968 Wendy Carlos released Switched-On Bach, a virtuosic demonstration of the Moog's musical capabilities through arrangements of pieces by baroque composer J.S. Bach. The certified platinum album introduced and legitimized the synthesizer to many and inspired numerous imitations ranging from charming to utterly bizarre: Switched-On Nashville, Switched-On Santa, Turned On Joplin, The Happy Moog!, and The Sounds Of Love...A To Zzzz (Sensually Sinthesized) to name just a few of the records that make it into this episode. Hear an hour of fun, surprising, and questionable synthesized tunes from this pivotal chapter of electronic music history.
