Title: Downright creepy musical experience
Review: Since "Switched on Bach" album in the 1960s Walter/Wendy Carlos has been in the forefront of electronically created popular music. Often this kind of music can be musically blatant, relying solely on the electronic sonorities, with not much solid thematic content. Not so with Carlos: this disc of hers offers a lot also musically. The way she creates genuinely creepy and frightening musical mindscapes keeps you hooked into the CD all through its entire listening time. Especially so, if you are a fan of Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining", now you have the opportunity to hear - and imagine - how this modern horror movie masterpiece might have sounded with Carlos' unused musical tracks. Many of them are sure to give you creeps, even without the images they were intended to underscore.
