Wendy Carlos

the recording of salome (karajan) i'm most familiar with is from '77 so it fits that timeline

Booming post, thank you so much, Mark!

Yes, your post has me recalling this this:
Eumir Deodato Almeida's singular rendition of "Also sprach Zarathustra" won the 1973 Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Performance. It is arguably the world's most renowned Latin jazz opus ever. The introductory movement of the original work, a tone poem by Richard Strauss (1896), served as the musical motif in Stanley Kubrick's 1968 film, "2001: A Space Odyssey." Deodato's arrangement wondrously elaborates on the movie's modernistic theme. Strauss, in turn, was inspired by Friedrich Nietzsche's iconoclastic philosophical treatise of the same title (1883-85). Zarathustra, of course, refers to Zoroaster, the Persian prophet and religious poet of antiquity (traditionally, 6th century BC), on whom Nietzsche based the principal character of his book.

Momus to thread.

no

definitely not.

Well all I hear all day long on ILX is how great Momus is at this or how wonderful Momus did that. Momus, Momus, Momus!

Oh wait. Wrong thread.

is there a thread for telling Momus to fuck off? maybe there should be.

He used to have a whole sub board or at least thread category named after him iirc. They are about 160 threads that feature him in the title. Really don’t think we should talk about him on this particular thread any more.
