The cover for this new remastering has changed since 1992. The concept Telarc came up with was certainly apt in its homage to the well known CBS cover (photographed with panache by the legendary team of Horn/Griner), but updated with a ""computerized harpsichord."" The result, unfortunately, is dark and murky, gracelessly chopped-off at the bottom, to allow for several lines of type at the top. And sheet music blowing away wouldn't look quite like that. It simply never worked for me.

We can do better for this special edition, while matching the ""look and feel"" of the rest of our Switched-On collection. The new cover began with original H/G elements, and features music tools I actually used in 1992 (Mac computer and monitors, a Kurzweil MIDIBoard), to replace that 1968 portable Moog. Notice a few sly other differences, such as updating the cat with a new Siamese model. Since the first cover showed not a single synth patch cord, no sound could have be made or heard. Our new cover captures the equipment powered up and ready to go, as it was while creating the album.

First-time listeners also should note that there are two bonus tracks on S-OB2K not present on the first S-OB. A short Happy Birthday parody greeting begins the proceedings, and we end with an encore, that forceful epitome of Baroque organ music, the Toccata and Fugue in d, played with as much spirit and drama as I could conjure. Also the middle movement in the 3rd Brandenburg is new and insinuates itself nicely, my best attempt yet to compose within the style and idiom of dear J.S. Bach. You will find a complete track-by-track description of all the music included in the New Edition's Booklet. Finally, rest assured the audio on this CD has been newly tweaked and polished, and has never sounded better.
