Fascinating..... !!!!

Oh man, that was amazing.

Gob smacked!!!

Thanks for posting that interesting video. In 1977, I accepted a manufacturer's representative job for ARP Instruments out of Lexington, Mass. ARP and Moog were the two leaders in development and marketing of music synthesizers. Our synthesizers back then were state of the art analog machines with hard wired components. Every sound from this video harkens back to those days. The hypnotic sequencing of sounds on Baba O'Riley by The Who were programmed into an ARP analog sequencer. Pete Townshend also used one of the very first ARP Avatar guitar synthesizers that was featured prominently on Won't Get Fooled Again. The big difference in today's machines is that all of the analog components of the old machines, to be able to do what we heard in the video, would fill half a small room. Year by year, circuitry shrunk in size so that by 1985, the same results and much more came from components that would fit inside a briefcase. Add to that, digitizing of the electronics and wireless connections allowed for more functions and interfacing with many other devices for music making.

Hey Howie, we're still repairing those old ARP's (I knew the Pearlman's from back then), Moog's (ditto for the late, great Bob), Prophet's, Oberheim's and tons of other vintage synths from back then. People find 'em in their basements, garage sales, eBay, etc. They bring them in and spend HUGE $$$ to have them refurbished. We have one customer that spent close to $10K to have a Yamaha CS80 and Prophet 5 v2 refurbished in perfect working order. As you know, some of those old synths can be real finicky. Here's the best one: we have an ORIGINAL Moog Modular with ALL of the trimmings and attachments in here from NYU's music lab for complete refurb. It's just cool to LOOK at it! BTW- I haven't included the Rhodes, Wurli's and Clavinet's in this either.

It ain't just vintage drums that are all the rage, I can tell you that! x-mas3

The performer should have ended it by clicking in the lights to reveal that the table was constructed on the head a big ol' vintage bass drum. Then everything would come full circle!

and the song sings out the word

"SCIENCE"

Thats neat. The beginning of the video kinda sounds like that synth intro to VanHalen's 'Jump'.
