If you remember guys like Keith Emerson, Rick Wakeman and Rick Wright playing keyboard devices the size of refrigerators, youll love that Moog, the pioneering synth company, has gone back to making some of those monsters.
Behold this glorious synthesizer porn.

I have it in MP3, also have both volumes of Switched-on Brandenburgs. Would kill for a copy of The Well-Tempered Synthesizer.

Hmm how about an update of Dueling Banjo?
With the duel being between a Theremin and a Moog

Or 150 bags of shells at 1000 shells each ;)
I’ll stick with my Roland Integra 7 and ‘suffer’ through it.

Maybe they’ll bring back the “Moogy Blues!”
...
That would be the Mellotron.

Mellotron? Buddy of mine had one. I believe one was used in “Strawberry Fields”. He lost it in a fire.

Ever hear of Stereolab, Squawk? They were a UK/French group who were big indie faves during the 90’s who made great use of the Moog and Farfisa. Their sound was basically The Velvet Underground plays Neu! songs. Literally:

Ahhhh, the Rongovian Embassy.
Always remember the Trumansburg cop hidden in the bushes on the way back to Ithaca after closing.

Never let factual details stand in the way of a good pun.

Awesome synth. Basic features but sounded SOOOOO good. Between that and the Jupiter 8, Roland’s legacy is secure.
To: pierrem15
