still think Wendy Carlos' "Beauty in the Beast" was not "the
music of the perhaps not too distant future", but merely a
poorly recorded and out-of-tune record. (Speaking for myself,
that whole record was the closest thing I've experienced to "the

I think that, like any other alternative to the common Western 12 tone
scale, it takes time to get used to. If I'm not mistaken, that album
used a scale that divided the octave into 250+ notes.
