Hmm.

Post #337,943 by static 1/1/11 9:03:27 PM Reply	Hmm. For electronica, I'd go for Oxygene and Equinoxe by Jean Michel Jarre. These were absolutely ground-breaking for their time, however Jarre seems to have forgotten why with his more recent concerts. Other people might recommend early Kraftwerk, but I haven't heard them. My classical experience is a bit limited, by comparison, but I do know a few gems. Holst's The Planets is a worthwhile inclusion. Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries is good, but I'd be fussy about the orchestra (I have one that is only average). For classical crossover, I'd suggest Bond's first album (Born). Wade.

I learned Wordstar on CP/M on that terminal. We also used it with a 300 based acoustic coupler to talk to "online" (compuserve) at the time. Piece of shit, but amazing at the time. Think about how hard doing electronica was in those days.

Oxygene has a picture of Jarre in amongst a mess of things: numerous analog synths and organs interconnected together with patch cables. (As an amateur synth programmer myself, I know that some of the iconic sounds on Equinoxe are very difficult to re-create with recent synth hardware, requiring modulation links often not provided.)

Post #337,985 by static 1/2/11 5:38:40 PM Reply	Okay, that was interesting. Many thanks! Sadly, I think Autobahn has dated more than Oxygene has. Wade. Q:Is it proper to eat cheeseburgers with your fingers? A:No, the fingers should be eaten separately.
