As most of you know, this site is not about electronic music in general, it's about synths. Why? I put up anywhere from 20 - 40 posts every single day. You can imagine what the number might look like if I opened the site up to the more general. I do make the rare exception but there is always a very specific reason for it. That said, the music that does get showcased here is the music that showcases an individual synth or two. One of the best examples of this are the Synthesizer Von Gestern CDs. Pictured to the left is Vintage Synths Vol. 1. Below is the track listing. I was fortunate enough to have swissdoc play a couple of the CDs for me during my last trip to Switzerland. You might remember the Synthorama Museum posts from this trip. Swissdoc just wrote in to let me know you can find the Synthesizer Von Gestern CDs and more at Originalton West.
