Dispointing - Sisters with Transistors review by PJ
I think I was expecting something different - would have liked more of an in depth look at these amazing electronic music inovators. This seemed very superficial, not really discussing the technical or artistic merits of these women. Yes they struggled against the system but this seemed to gloss over many aspects of their creativity.
I think I enjoyed 'I dream of wires@ far more and was a better documentary on the subject of electronic music development.
