Manuel Clement - Paysages
According to this HC post, the music on Manel Clement's Paysages is all Dave Smith Polyevolver. If anyone can confirm please do. You can definitely hear evolver on it. Pretty interesting showcase of the evolver and good listening.
Vintage Synthesizer Breakout
Yep... Title link takes you there.
"Do you want to play Moog System 55, Oberheim 8 Voice, Yamaha CS80, SCI Prophet 5, Roland TB-303 and many other vintage synthesizers? Free? Without any time limit? Yes, of course you can do that, you are at Sound Of Music now - everything is possible now! Download Vintage Synthesizer Breakout 1.0 (4.67 Mb) and start to play with your favorite vintage synthesizers. The game, including the "game music", is programmed by Torbjörn "Toby" Frisk, Sound Of Music. There are no Mac version. There's a small hint: Avoid the corners if possible (we don't have the solution for that yet). The program is an exe-file, so you can play direct without install the program (nice if you are at public places such a library etc)."

Sound of Music
Title link takes you to the Sound of Music site where you will find Julie Andrews, oh wait, not that Sound of Music. Bwahaha. Hopefully that either resulted in a cringe or a laugh. Take two. Title link takes you to the Sound of Music site where you'll find a load of vintage goodies including Vintage Synthesizer Breakout. Saving the shot for that on my next post (above), so I can put the following beauty up.

Scams/Trolls on Craigslist
First there was the $350 Minimoog in the Seattle area. Then there is this. The Moog Model A from the Audities Foundation for $30 in Columbus. Yeah... Title link takes you to the post on Craigslist while it lasts. Image and details below.
"I am Selling a moog Key Board. It is a little beat up but it still works. Can't Find a model number on it. Used to be my Dad's Key Board, I don't know how to play it. It has several slots labeld "RA MOOG" and some of the labels are just paper stuck on. This would be a good Key Board for your child or someone getting started with music.
this is in or around hilliard"
Update: Via the comments, looks like that $350 Minimoog could have been real:
"For what its worth, I had emailed the Craigslist ad for the Minimoog (it was actually $350). He replied that I was the third person (ugg!) to email him but had already agreed to sell it to a person who emailed him first and lived a few miles away. He said he would call me if it didn't work out between the first and second person who emailed him.
He seemed straight forward in his email and seemed to know by all the replies he received that he had asked too little but felt that was the amount it was worth and was oblidged to sell it for what he listed it for.
He mentioned he was going to try to delete the ad as soon as the person picked it up to avoid any more emails in his in-box ( and probably so he wouldn't have reminders or regrets that he could have sold it for more).
On a side note, that listing was a slap-in-the-face reminder that I was spending way too much time surfing Craigslist, Ebay, etc. for things that I don't really need. I went cold turkey from those sites and am putting that precious time into finishing my bathroom remodel and getting ready for the upcoming gardening season.
