Read the passage then answer the quiestion down below.

Switched-On Bach is a musical album recorded by Wendy Carlos in 1968. As one might expect, the album features selections written by the famous 18th-century composer, Johann Sebastian Bach. Yet, Switched-On Bach is unlike any classical album that came before it. Carlos performed Bach's songs using electronic synthesizers designed by Robert Moog. These synthesizers were among the first electronic instruments used in popular music. Because of its original sound, Switched-On Bach became one of the first classical albums to sell 500,000 copies. It also won three Grammies.

Despite its commercial success, the album received a mixed reaction when it was first released. Some critics felt that it ruined Bach's music. Many artists, meanwhile, were excited by the freshness of the strange new electronic sound. Suddenly, everyone wanted to use Robert Moog's synthesizers on their next records.
