Handel One

What better way to ring in the New Year than with an all-synthesizer version of The Messiah? I'm pretty sure I've shared an electronic version of an occasional track from this piece before, most frequently The Hallelujah Chorus, but this time they tackle the whole thing and not only are the synthesizers going guns-out, you've got some vocalists who are singing right along with 'em. It's good stuff I tell you. This will drive your hangover into overdrive, I'm sure. Have a loud listen to The Elmer Iseler Singers And The "Synthescope" Digital Synthesizer Ensemble-The Electronic Messiah (Moss Music Group (Canada) D-DMG-113, Stereo, 1982). From Canada, eh!
