In 1968 (That's more than 50 years ago) Wendy Carlos released her debut album Switched-On-Bach, a collection of pieces by Johann Sebastian Bach performed on a Moog synthesizer. The album became an unexpected commercial success, which helped change people's perceptions of the synthesizer from a noisy machine to a musical instrument. Switched-On-Bach received a poor reception from classical music purists, but it became very popular among young people interested in electronic sounds, for whom the words "switched on" evoked the druggy/erotic idea of "turned on". The album was so popular that it became the second classical album to be certified platinum and triggered a paradigm shift, in which electronic instruments were started seen as something more than just "beeps and bloops" In the years that followed, musicians and record labels all over the world copied the idea and produced a large number of "switched-on" type albums, including not only Moog renditions of classical music but also pop, rock, folk, country, and other styles. This mix is a selection of some of these Moog "trippy" covers. Let's get switched-on !
