Moog for you

Moog synthesizers are the epithome of electronic music instruments. The bold combination of wood, metal and electricity seems like a chimera born out of the depths of Haefestus' forge.

Compliments aside, the Moog synth sound helped to define the sound of rock music and electronic music during the seventies and forth. Years have passed, we have seen the apparition of virtual analogue synths, virtual instruments for our PCs and Macs, we have seen the rise and fall (and rebirth) of Frequency Modulation synthesisers, romplers, samplers and grooveboxes, and yet, the Moog sound still shines on top.

During the seventies we had the luck of listening to the works of Wendy Carlos and many others, yet, many of the albums are lost in second hand album bins or garage sales.

So, check this blog, listen to the music, then buy the albums you like. They are very much awesome in mp3 format, but they are better yet when you listen to them in their vinyl incarnations.
