I just wish more people would talk about her music instead of her gender. I know she's bitter or dissatisfied about Switched on Bach, but I still listen to it regularly. There aren't many pieces of instrumental music that can actually make me laugh, but it does. Bach works on synth so well. Largely due to Carlos' efforts.

I was in a record store a few months ago, saw a copy of Switched on Bach, thought it would be interesting, and picked it up. Blew me away. Then I googled it, learned the story and how groundbreaking it was.

Now I've got a few albums of hers from that era. Great stuff.
