Love Like Deloreans Loves Matrixsynth

via Love Like Deloreans:

"Hey Matrixsynth, we're big-time fans of your blog. Just thought that we should write to say hello since we're fellow synth-fetishist-nerds. Our band's name is Love Like Deloreans, and we're an all-synth group from Brooklyn. We have our obligatory myspace page up at:

http://www.myspace.com/lovelikedeloreans

You can see a bunch of synth pics in our photo albums. We've got some rather rare stuff (not to brag) that you might be interested in looking at (including an ARP Odyssey Mk I, Casio VA-10, Yamaha CS01, Yamaha CP-70, etc.).

Also, we were happy to hear that the Synth Babe tag was resurrected since we have one in the group (her name is Lorna and damn, she's fine and super- talented). It would really make her day to get a mention. [for those of you without a MySpace account you can find some images here]

If you're interested in reading a bit more, our friends Alias Pail (another Brooklyn group, but they do more circuit bending - they played at the NYC bent fest this past time) did an interview/write-up about us that's here: http://aliaspail.blogspot.com/ [direct link to the post for the archives]

Anyway, we hope that you enjoy it and we'd love to hear what you think. We'll make sure to pass along more as time goes by. Thanks!

We love matrixsynth,
Peter/Love Like Deloreans"

BTW, the video freezing after 2 seconds issue? I'm still having the problem after the fixes here. I'm going to try Firefox 3 RC2 as suggested by Moogulator in the comments.

click here and watch. Try not to skip the animation and see if you can guess the synth. If you make your own, send them in. Note helen mentioned this one was not exactly complete, but you should be able to guess what it is.
