Sunny Day Sets Fire

via Amateur Chemist where you will find the full review and more images. I've been looking for a reason to put up a Sunny Day Sets Fire post for a while now. They are a really great band. My favorite track from them is Teenagers Talking which apparently has not been released as a single yet. It is on the new album though. Below are two videos for their first singles.

"Onyee (Vocals/Synthesizers) was switching between her Nord Electro and Roland SH-201 and occasional sprinkles of xylophone. 'Stranger' accelerated the pace and knocked me over with a hypnotic guitar solo and soaring vocal harmonies."

MOOG VOCODER - as used on many Monty Python productions

The Gear Garage is very proud to be presenting a fine collection of Monty Python Equipment in very good condition, well looked after and featured on many famous recordings with a unique heritage.

The Moog Vocoder we have here is recognisable from their recording of 'Here comes another one.'

Besides from being a superb and rare instrument it is a piece of history unlike any other. Anyone looking to buy such an article may consider this as an investment as well as a creative tool. Very likely to gain in value on both counts. NOW WITH ORIGINAL MANUAL!"

images via this auction

"EM-04 HAS A FOUR MAIN SECTIONS OF CONTROL:
1-st GROUP (left manual) - attack, sustain, bass, violin, alto, string, orchestral, brass
BRASS FILTER - attack, sustain (level, on/off), cutoff, resonance
2-nd GROUP (right manual) - attack, sustain, bass, violin, alto, string, orchestral, brass
MASTER - fine tuning, main volume level, tone (brightness), slalom (pitch slide), hawaii (finger pitch controller).

• There is a one master oscillator in this instrument. Due to this oscillator a possibility of instrument detuning in the process of operation is eliminated.

• Because of split of the manual into 2 sections, the volume of each group may be adjusted.

FILTER GENERATOR IS FOR BRASS SECTION ONLY.
• Connection on the rear panel: Audio OUTPUT with standard 1/4' jack, power wire connection (220/240V 2 pin euro), fuse (0,5A) ."
