Yes, the Carlos set is well worth the money, even if, like me, you already
own multiple copies of those albums on LP & CD! These are the definitive
versions, and I'd have paid the cover price for the two little 'books' that
come with them alone! Great photos of her modular.

I also recommend the Sonic Seasonings and Clockwork Orange remasters, with
their extra material and high quality mastering. The Heaven & Hell disc is
worth getting but I was a little disappointed with it to tell the truth.

		BTW, I just got the Wendy Carlos "Switched on Boxed Set"
last week and
		*wow*!  I had heard most of the earlier stuff but the
remastering really
		makes these 30 year old recordings sparkle.  There is also
some great
		"experiments" on the first two CDs that give you a bit of
insight into the
		process they used to make these recordings.  There is also
quite a bit of
		information in the books and on the fourth CD on the Moog
modular, Wendy's
		method for "storing" patches and other neat stuff.  If you
are ever at a
		loss for timbral ideas using a modular synth, just listening
to a few
		seconds of these classics will either depress you because
they are so good,
		or give you a wealth of new ideas to try.  Highly
recommended!
