Hey, that's not fair!
One can't judge the merits of the Buchla 200 on Subotnick's Touch - that
piece was done on a 100 system which is a completely different animal. While
it would be rather easy to assume there wouldn't be that much of a
difference, the differences were vast
Wait about 2 months until Barry Schrader's Lost Atlantis CD (Innova
Recordings) is released before you make an assessment. Just trust me on
this!
