"A brand-new sealed example of the most beautiful book ever produced about synthesisers.

Hardback, top quality paper and reproduction, full colour printing on most pages, great photos by Dieter Stork, and authoritative, well-researched text by Matthias Becker.
In German, but still a huge amount of info and synth porn for a non-German-speaker.

First edition, published 1995. This is the second (and bigger) of two volumes of the book, and covers a huge range of classic synthesisers.

EMS Synthi 100 on YouTube

"Rare footage of a Synthi 100 in operation - though I am not sure if this guy really knows what he is doing."
YouTube by Sharpblue.

Update via Moogulator of Sequencer.de in the comments:
"this is from the analogue heaven video from martin newcombe.. maybe he is not really amused, same with the moog one, it's from the same video..

matthias is a writer of the german keyboards magazine, he wrote the synthesizer von gestern books and series - (vintage synthesizers or exact words are: yesterdays synthesizers)

it is more a live-video and obviously he really tried to find out where the modulation comes from (turned down all OSCs etc. checked the matrix..) well.. the matrix is cool but even on the VCS3 it takes some time to find the mod-pins on the right place ;)"

Oldstyle Evolver

Title link takes you to a 4.22M mp3 of the Poly Evolver by Stefan Trippler.

"I listened to the great CD collection "Synthesizer von Gestern" again, lend
some chords and structure from Ralf Weber and tried to make a track in a
similar style with Poly Evolver sounds.

Here is the result:

Oldstyle Evolver

Some softer sounds again. I won't ever be able to produce a reasonable
mixing quality, but anyway, I think it is good enough to get an impression
of the Evolver sound character. Btw I didn't try to imitate the sounds from
the original track too close, would habe been too much work, if possible at
all...

All sounds from the Poly Evolver, PSP Easy Verb, some delays and compressors
from Cubase"
