Although a lot less well-informed, I agree with Gregor XIII and clutknuckle too: there`s a lot more bad out there than good.

Is this the right place to mention Walter Carlos, who did some quite respectful transpositions of classical music to the moog synthesizer back in the early days of electronica ?
