Adolph Sutro’s Cliff House in a Storm (c. 1900) by Tsunekichi Imai.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2022 Good to see a profile of Wendy Carlos<\/a>, and to hear that she’s still working even though all her albums (to which she owns the rights) have been unavailable for the past two decades. I’d be wary of praising Switched-On Bach<\/em> too much to avoid giving new listeners a wrong impression. The album was a breakthrough in 1968 but was quickly improved upon by The Well-Tempered Synthesizer<\/em> (1969) and Switched-On Bach II<\/em> (1973). And my two favourites, A Clockwork Orange \u2013 The Complete Original Score<\/em> (1972) and the double-disc ambient album, Sonic Seasonings<\/em> (1972), are superior to both.<\/p>\n

\u2022 “[Sandy Pearlman] told me that one of the main inspirations was HP Lovecraft. I said, ‘Oh, which of his books?’ He said, ‘You know, the Cthulhu Mythos stories or At The Mountains Of Madness<\/em>, any of those.'” Albert Bouchard<\/a>, formerly of Blue \u00d6yster Cult, talks to Edwin Pouncey about B\u00d6C’s occult-themed concept album, Imaginos<\/em> (1988), and his affiliated opus, Re Imaginos<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u2022 More electronica: Jo Hutton talks to Caroline Catz<\/a>, director of the “experimental documentary” Delia Derbyshire: The Myths and Legendary Tapes<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u2022 At the V&A blog Clive Hicks-Jenkins<\/a> talks to Rebecca Law about his award-winning illustrations for\u00a0Hansel and Gretel: A Nightmare in Eight Scenes<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u2022 New music: Archaeopteryx<\/em><\/a> is a new album by Monolake; What’s Goin’ On<\/em><\/a> is a further preview of the forthcoming Cabaret Voltaire album, Shadow Of Fear<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Celebrating A Voyage to Arcturus<\/em><\/a>: details of two online events to mark the centenary year of David Lindsay’s novel.<\/p>\n

\u2022 “Streaming platforms aren’t helping musicians \u2013 and things are only getting worse,” says Evet Jean<\/a>.<\/p>\n
