Rush and Dr Moog!

This one in via Aaron.

"Hey Matrix,

Since it's Dr Moog's Bday I was thinking about what got me into Moog (not necessarily synthesizers) and it was in fact this video:

YouTube via AirbrushRocks — April 14, 2008

and in particular the spot at 3:59 in the video literally. This is what inspired me to get into college to work for my EE degree back in 1998. Of course I finished and moved on.

Funny enough when I was working at Moog in 2008 two LPs came across my station for repair and when I began to muck around with them I noticed the presets were named after Rush songs. As it turned out they were the LPs Geddy Lee was using on stage during that tour!:)

It's pretty funny how life works isn't it!

Cheers,
Aaron"

Awesome.

via this auction

"This is a vintage Monophonic analog synth with lots of unusual features. This synth has an old school Roland sound which is completly different from later SH series synths. This synth was serviced by Oakleysound a couple of years ago and is in full working order. It also has CV/Gate/VCF freq sockets fitted (by analog solutions) so can by intergrated into a MIDI setup. The synth is built into a flight case and includes the music stand but no manual."
