While that's definitely true of Gleeson and Subotnick, I haven't heard
anything by Teitlebaum that hasn't been at least interesting. In fact, I
think he's one of the few modular pioneers who made the switch to digital
and continued doing good stuff, unlike Subotnick whose career can be very
easily divided (pre-FM = great, post-FM = not).

Leedy and Wiggins are two names I haven't heard before, and it sounds like
I should be listening to them! Can you recommend some records?
