I would say Rudin overall was a better composer but Subotnick much better at the politics of a career.<br /><br />I spent time touching both the Moog and Buchla modular synths used to make both those records. Neither hold up today really as more than demonstrative of the sound-making capacity of the instruments. Aesthetic has evolved quite a bit. But in the late 60' this stuff was pretty ground-breaking.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3262584283674109553.post-28386955282711424012009-01-15T12:46:00.000-08:002009-01-15T12:46:00.000-08:00I finally solved my problem....

For some reason, there are some rar files on mutantsounds that I can't extract with QuickZip (although I should in principle). I downloaded the trial version of WinRar, and bingo! things work. <BR/><BR/>Question: which free .rar extractor software would you recommend ?(WinRar is free for 40 d only).<BR/><BR/>Thanks again, and I'll leave feedback on the Rudin and the Avalanche since I can now extract both of these files!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05600206368534241084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3262584283674109553.post-70646307677328106132009-01-14T22:16:00.000-08:002009-01-14T22:16:00.000-08:00For some reason, the rar file seems to be corrupt....For some reason, the rar file seems to be corrupt. Can't extract anything although the rar file is said to have 6 files and has the expected size. Has anybody tried to download it lately?<BR/><BR/>BTW, I just want to say: this site is a sanctuary to the Nirvana! You introduced me to a whole new world of possibilities with albums so good that you just wanna cry :-)<BR/><BR/>Waiting for some help!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05600206368534241084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3262584283674109553.post-84477740025534625152008-09-29T08:49:00.000-07:002008-09-29T08:49:00.000-07:00It's also the case that Subotnick's work, while br...It's also the case that Subotnick's work, while breathtaking, is essentially devoid of humor. <BR/><BR/>The same can not be said of Charles Dodge, Kenneth Gaburo, and even Andrew Rudin's Nonesuch commissioned works.
