> there's very little "true" 3/4 outside of Classical music. Don't have much knowledge of (or use for) time signatures, but I always thought it kinda cool that many music instructors have used "Friends" by the Beach Boys to teach the waltz -- dunno if it's true 3/4 though. >Silver Apples is available with another album... Aside from the pioneering angles of his work, Subotnick has always seemed a bit too academic to me. I can respect his work, but I can't really enjoy it... It's not strictly synthesizer music, but I'd recommend Tod Dockstader, a tape manipulator from the early '60s who produced the most proto-IDM-sounding music I've heard (minus the beats), some of which was used in "Fellini Satyricon". Check out "Apocalypse" or "Quatermass" on Starkland, both of which were easily available until just recently... (http://www.allmusic.com/cg/x.dll?UID=1:10:50|PM&p=amg&sql=B5932) .John.
