Sorry, to hear this. He's left a great legacy (and some of it not so great). I've been collecting Moog records for a while now and here two cuts from something I just picked up in Melbourne, Electric Coconut:

180. Isley Brothers - "Who's That Lady?"
-- ken taylrr has gone off the internet because of you (or...), August 22nd, 2005.

sorry to bust this but Isley's "Who's that lady" didn't use a moog or any synth. The sound was a guitar effect. Choose something else.

Hey Joe, what do you think of "Cans and Brahms"? (I'm guessing there's a Moog in there?) I used to skip it or think of it as filler but I've been really noticing it recently. There's a lot going on - it's really pretty cool how he layered four different types of keyboards to do an arrangement of the different instrumental sections in the Brahms piece. I like that he didn't use either obvious 'futuristic' synthy signifiers or imitation woodwind, brass, etc sounds. It's not at all flashy solo wank or whatever.

― Sundar (sundar), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 13:27 (twenty years ago)

(Which is partly to say, sorry Ned, but I've started to realize that RICK WAKEMAN IS A GENIUS. I've been appreciating "Roundabout" more than I did before too.)

― Sundar (sundar), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 13:29 (twenty years ago)

(Not that I have anything against obvious 'futuristic' synthy signifiers, mind you.)

― Sundar (sundar), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 13:37 (twenty years ago)

yeah, Wakeman sounds pretty good on Fragile - check the piano break in "South Side of the Sky", one of the coolest Yes songs because of that

― Dominique (dleone), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 13:39 (twenty years ago)

I thought the who used an arp.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 14:05 (twenty years ago)

139.The Byrds, "Natural Harmony"

― Myonga Von Bontee (Myonga Von Bontee), Friday, 26 August 2005 23:49 (twenty years ago)

Hmmm...looks like 200 was an optimistic figure. No doubt many (most?) ILMers can't tell a Moog from an ARP from a whatever by ear alone.

You can win a Moog, but you have to buy a Prodigy album. I don't think it's worth it, but then again, I don't know:

Re: "Won't Get Fooled Again" upthread, it's not a Moog, but rather a Lowrey organ fed through an ARP: http://www.thewho.net/whotabs/gear/guitar/lowrey.html. Townshend never used a Moog (on record, at least), only ARPs and an EMS VCS3.
