Editorial Review: Amazon.com: 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 analog 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 favorite 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 Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Fat-freeThe preferred soundtrack version for this landmark soundtrack found itself in musical realms as equally innovative as the cinematic counterpart. Carlos's '71 score merges breathy synthesizers with classical composition in a way that feels scarily undated, reaffirming all the horrific beauty inside the controversial film while standing as its own bleak vision. Rating: - A Clockwork OrangeGreat work but not so good in the recording quality. Finally Timesteps in the complete version. Dario Viecelli Rating:  - I have not yet recevied any of those CD......Dear Amazon, I am INCAZZATISSIMO with your company. I have not yet received any of those CD purchased, but the thing that makes me even more arrabiare is that I have not yet had no report from you in this regard. What has happened to my CD? I want an answer now! Rating:  - Scary, yet wonderful! A real horrorshow!This album contains all the tracks that were originally suppose to be in the movie. However, Kubrick chose to alternate between the synth versions and classic orchestra. I think that if all these versions made by Wendy were in the movie, in my opinion, the film would be even better! Check especially out the extended version of timesteps which is scary and really intense, and makes you wonder why only the intro of this song was used in the movie.. And country lane which is a fantastic, but really scary piece of work. At the end of the song, a voice sings the beginning of singing in the rain through a vocoder. The first time I heard it, I felt I was in the Clockwork Orange universe and it gave me a real horrorshow! If ...

It`s a good way to know the "old Ludvig Van" for childrens. |
