You're listening to sound opinions and later in this show we're going to talk with Amanda Sewell about her book on electronic music pioneer Wendy Carlos.

That's something to look forward to. But first we've got some new music to review. Welcome to my bachelor pad.

I stay here when things get bad and I just want to get away.
