A Bit of the Old Ludwig Van

Yes the Moogs are this album are "primitive" but their sound is vastly superior to today's synths. The Moogs were vastly more expressive and subtle. If this album were recorded on digital synths, it would just sound cheesy. Timesteps is an amazing piece that gives you the creeps even if you haven't seen the movie. As a soundtrack it perfectly mixes the themes of ultra violence and Beethoven seemlessly. If you buy this cd (and by all means do)please refer to it as "early electronica" rather than "new age". It deserves the credit for everything it helped spawn

Lost pieces and extras from the gifted musician who gave A CLOCKWORK ORANGE that Moogish flavour

I own the original LP and cassette of this album ... released after the release of the "original soundtrack," this album offers the CLOCKWORK fan the "real" soundtrack. Missing are the third party tracks which Kubrick used ... included are the complete "Timesteps" which is what convinced Kubrick to hire (then) Walter Carlos to adapt the classical works for the film ... also included is the electronic rendition of "The Thieving Magpie," not finished in time for inclusion in the film ... and a piece which wasn't used, "Country Lane."

The Warner album includes an abridged excerpt of "Timesteps" (bits of it were used in the film), but the complete composition gets a deserved spotlight here. This is not a "movie soundtrack" album, but Wendy Carlos' own release of the music she prepared for the film. "Angel trumpets and devil trombones ... hear all proper now." ;)

'A Clockwork Orange:Wendy Carlos's Complete Original Score' Movie Soundtrack (East Side Digital)

I've heard several long-time music fans boast about how this movie soundtrack is simply 'one of' THE best album releases,period!Rather they be a big-time metal head,a classic rock supporter,someone who plays easy listening material all the time,maybe an school punk fan,etc.To best describe this CD(with added bonus cuts that wouldn't fit on the original vinyl lp)I would say it's like ahead-of-it's-time new age with an experimental vibe to it.Key tracks are the unforgetable thirteen minute "Timesteps",the creative "Theme From A Clockwork Orange","William Tell Overture,Abridged" and a tune that was co-written by Carlos and movie producer Rachel Elkind "Biblical Daydreams".A must-have reissue CD of the cult masterpiece Stanley Kubrick film,that after you've seen the flick for the very first time,it MAY effect the way you look at the world from here on out.Highly recommended.

Clockork Orange musical score

Wendy Carlos' musical score for the film CLOCKWORK ORANGE
is a wonderful musical composition. This piece blends
melodies from well known classical compositions in a
manner that is itelf unique and distinctively appealing.
I call this music a classic in its own right.

A Must for Kubrick-philes...

This release is vastly superior in audio quality to the Warner "Clockwork Orange" original soundtrack release. Features the extended versions of great tracks like "Timesteps"--all around it's a great album, and includes tracks that were never used but definitely create the vibe of the film when you listen to them. Only beef--there still are some segments (such as when Alex is attacked by the well) that remain unreleased from the original film, so "almost" belongs before "Complete" in the title.
