I only wish I had saved the record. Thanks for posting some of the recordings. It was good to hear it again. This album started me into classical music interests in my early teens, which was unusual for kids at that age. Switched On Bach was my next album, but I initially did not like the light sounds that he used. I guess I liked full base sounds which the Unusual Classical Synthesizer had.

What I like about this album is the use of the very rare VCS-3 synthesizer. Most of his peers at the time used the Moog. Except for the Moonlight Sonata, all of the pieces are very lively and fun to listen to.
