"Dr. Who needs no banjos or Moog ladders. It's not about the East Coast vs. West Coast sound at all -- it's about the UK sound, which, as you know, comes from outer-space.

In fact, EMS in the UK got their start by stealing an Atron energy nebulizer from a type-40 TARDIS. Normally, this would not be cause for concern as the device was genetically keyed, but the average UK citizen is so inbred that by lucky statistical chance, EMS found not only that they could activate the device, but that somehow they could get impressions from the Matrix itself!

After many astral voyages at the EMS laboratories, it became clear that true access to the historical knowledge of the Time Lords would be impossible due to the defenses of the latent psychic energy of all timelords past, so they set to work on a device capable of distracting the Matrix's mental defenders.

This became known as the EMS 100, and became the centerpiece for their own make-shift TARDIS.

About this time the BBC needed some ideas for good shows, so the EMS folks created another EMS 100 unit at the BBC Radiophonic headquarters so their engineers could also be inspired by the hyper-galactic knowledge of the Matrix.

Of course, portable versions of their technologies were placed in select hands over the ages. Each artist was given a goal: design a unique composition that can distract the time-lord defenders so as to access the true Matrix directly.

One of the most introspective works, giving almost total sub-conscious access to the Matrix was the well known album 'Dark side of the moon'. What is not well known however is that the word 'moon' in the title of the Album refers to "Pazithi Gallifreya" (Gallifrey's moon), and the nodum-quazmulcator buried within its surface.

Humanity owes so much to the psycho-quantum-sonic attributes of the the EMS line of 'synthesizers'!

Sadly, once the Presidents Council discovered the breech, they issued an edict to EMS to halt production of their technology to all without Gallifreyan permits.

This has created an underground bidding war for EMS devices. Even though the atron nebulizers have been disabled by the Time Lords, many still collect the devices to reminisce to the 'good ol days' when Matrix security was as porous as the US Government's firewalls.

There are rumors however, that a new type of Atron-nebulizer emulation may soon be available.

If so, and we can only hope, that a new wave of EMS devices will be available for todays generation of psycho-temporal-astral knowledge seekers."
