ELO - One Summer Dream

YouTube via jjkdc. Anyone ID the synth rig. You can kind of make out the rack at 3:35 and close-ups of the keyboard at 3:54. They keyboard has a joystick controller, the rack could be a Roland System 100m, but who knows...

Null Object - That Eye The Sky

YouTube via nathnullobject
"This track is my circuit bent Roland TB-303 Bassline playing a single riff through two instances of AZ Audio's Ultra trigger FX and Sanford Sound Design delay plugins. Recorded live into my DAW.

No other effects were used but I was thinking about eating potatoes at the time so that may have altered the sound slightly. Also I was distracted with thoughts of roller skating. I will endeavor to pay more attention to my task at hand in future but I am unable to guarantee anything at this time.

The Flamenco MOOG

Note that's obviously an EMS VC3s aka Putney in the image. If you see the bottom update to The Moog Keytar you will see that it was actually just a controller for an ARP Odyssey and not a Moog. Moog was synonymous with synth during that time. Kind of like Xerox.

Update via Stefan in the comments:
"Dan Lacksman is actually one of the better "synth-musicians" of that time imo, he's a belgian jazz musician.

The album where this single is on is absolutely great stuff: link

He also made records using the name 'Electronic System'.

Electronic System – New Electronic System
Electronic System - Revival
Electronic System – Vol II
Electronic System – Vol III
Electronic System – Disco Machine
Dan Lacksman - New Electronic System

Expect to pay between 30 to 60 euro's for these on ebay, but well worth it."
