Well, I admire Moog as much as the next guy, but inventor is a strong word. He was producing modulars among other synth engineers and his company can only be credited with releasing the first non-modular, self-contained unit (and it's debatable whether this actually was his own idea : http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/mar02/articles/retrozone0302.asp). Great documentary anyway, thanks for posting. It's just the hyperbole that begins to wear me down. If I were Don Buchla I'd be a little pissed by this point.
You are right. I hadn't read the description as I've seen and own the movie. It was misleading and the claim of fair use in this case just doesn't sit right. I can understand promoting the film with a clip of the intro, but the full thing?
