Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

One of the most satisfying soundtrack "companion" pieces ever released, this collaboration between synthesist Wendy Carlos and producer Rachel Elkind manages to both logically extend and credibly expand on director Stanley Kubrick's masterfully conceived Clockwork Orange musical ethos. That shouldn't be surprising, as the pair was largely responsible for initiating those concepts with the music they'd begun as a follow-up to their successful, synthesizer-pioneering Switched on Bach collection. "Timesteps", a rich, wildly evocative, 13+ minute electronic sound and music collage, was based on impressions gleaned from Anthony Burgess's original novel (excerpts of it are liberally scattered throughout the film), while an abridged version of the fourth movement of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony was an early experiment in vocal synthesis that ended up as one of the film's key motifs. Also featured here are synthesized versions of music Kubrick ultimately chose to use in orchestral form (Rossini's "The Thieving Magpie") as well as original Carlos/Elkind electronic compositions ("Orange Minuet", "Biblical Daydreams", and "Country Lane") that ended up on the cutting-room floor. Composed on primitive, monophonic analogue instruments (which could play only one at a time!) long supplanted by generations of digital revolution, this work has a brooding otherworldly quality all its own. As our favourite Droog would say: "It was like a bird of rarest spun metal, or like silvery wine flowing in a space ship, gravity all nonsense now." --Jerry McCulley

4.0 out of 5 stars Truly the Original Synth., 5 Aug 2003

By	K. A. Lay "Kim Lay" (Brightlingsea, England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this album when it came out on vinyl, oh so many years ago, and played it until it was worn out. Like another reviewer, I bought the CD version a few years ago only to find that Wendy Carlos' contributions were cut right back and many other contributers took their place.

Buy this version. It is far superior and shows Carlos to be the most innovative electronic musician of the age. When this was recorded synthesisers were mostly if not completely monophonic instruments. Therefore multi-tracking was the name of the game. So much work was done before the advent of the technology that would undoubtedly have made life easier.

Well worth listening to is Carlos' ground breaking "Timesteps". It really would have suited the opening scenes of the film. My personal favourite here is Carlos' own "Country Lane". This is just sublime and does, as the sleeve notes point out, sum up the entire Clockwork Orange movie.

Timesteps may be a little difficult for the uninitiated so initially get into but, stick with it and you'll be well rewarded. Beethoven, Rossini and Purcell are all featured alongside the Carlos compositions. This album contains music that didn't make it onto the film soundtrack and two bonus tracks, Orange Minuet and Biblical Daydreams, are included for those who remember the original vinyl release.

What are you waiting for? This is electronic music at its best.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent - better than the film soundtrack CD, 18 Mar 2000

By A Customer

I had this recording on vinyl when the film first came out. Wendy Carlos (then Walter) provided a stunning soundtrack to a remarkable film. I recently purchased the Warner Brothers soundtrack CD 7599-27256-2 thinking it was the same thing but it was a mixture of Carlos and orchestral versions. Go for the all-Carlos CD as it also contains original compositions of high quality. Carlos introduced me to the music of Monteverdi, Scarlatti and others through these synthesised versions for which I am eternally grateful. Also check out the album "Switched on Bach 2000" which surprisingly doesn't feature on the Amazon list.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Clockwork Orange and more, 22 Oct 2002

By	Alex "London reviewer" (London, UK) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

Walter Carlos collaborated with Stanley Kubrick on his films for many years. Carlos had become huge with his ground-breaking "Switched on Bach" albums. It was this revolutionary space age synth sound that Kubrick wanted for a Clockwork Orange.

Carlos had already written the atmospheric "Timesteps" (the first track on the album) when Kubrick called him about the film. It became the music for Alex's mind altering therapy sessions. The other music was based on ideas from Carlos and Kubrick themselves as well as from the original Burgess novel.

Unlike the official Warner Brothers soundtrack release, this album contains purely Carlos synthesiser music, some of which that was written for but not used in a Clockwork Orange. It is fantastic, and the stereo mix makes it great driving music. But mind you don't end up playing "Devil of the Road!"
