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.

I especially appreciate the Kraftwerk and the Wendy Carlos--I'm starting to hear songs that I am familiar with and still even listen to. I find that Sonic Seasonings has aged incredibly well (been listening to it for more than 40 years!) as has Kraftwerk.
Totally agree on Sonic Seasonings.
yet anther cool piece of work. well done....again!
Thanks for listening!
