Finally, HDK has a J.S. Bach cover album in its catalog! 🎉​

It was a serious flaw, fortunately now the problem is solved thanks to our hero Benedict Roff-Marsh, an electronic musician who lives in Australia. The pop-star born in Thuringia in year 1685 (one of the first pop-stars in history in fact) has many fans in the southern hemisphere too, and Benedict is evidently one of them.

In truth, Benedict is keen to point out that this album is actually a tribute to Wendy Carlos and her "Switched-on Bach" (1968), one of the first Bach-exploitation albums ever released and certainly one of the most brilliant and beloved. 

Benedict is a multifaceted and inventive guy; discover for example his activity of inventors of virtual synthesizers here: benedictroffmarsh.com/instruments/

This album of electronic adaptations of Bach's music prompted us to include in the cassette a booklet containing a retrospective of our most beloved Bach & Classical exploitation albums from the 70s and 80s: a very useful guide for those who want to discover some discographic gems such as "Bach for Computer" by Carlos Futura or "Bach to the Future" by Latin Rascals.
