The trip through the electronic music of the 70s continues with a stop in 1972. As with '70 & '71 this is a mix with some tracks that are very electronic, like the Wendy Carlos tunes, and others that are more electronic adjacent, like the Cluster or Pick Floyd tracks. But I think it gives a good sense of where things stood at the time.
I purposely stayed away from cheesy electronic versions of classical music like "The Electronic Spirit Of Erik Satie" or "The Unusual Classical Synthesizer." I'm just not a fan of that type of electronic music. I understand it's place in bringing synths to mass attention, I just don't like those recordings.
Enjoy 1972, I have a feeling 1973 will sound fairly similar. But things will start to change in '74 & '75.
Cheers!

wendy Carlos did the name transition properly. Her dead name has the same first letter as Wendy. If there is any doubt ... as in referring to a pre-transition recording like "Clockwork Orange ... you can always say W. Carlos.
