(don't think that is actually a synthesizer in that second photo, but the picture is very SYNTH WIZARD imo)

good photos of Yellow Magic Orchestra and their synths are surprisingly hard to find, but check out this Ryuichi Sakamoto action figure:

had a japanese-language magazine that came with the gakken DIY synth years ago - some OK pics but better was a schematic of their gear setup circa budokan 1980, it was a fold-out section!

zimmer's studio/tastefully-appointed lounge is even better.

This thread is really special! I thought it might be fun to start a related thread containing tracks by each of the artists pictured that are good examples of their work, or which, in the cases of, say Townsend/Dolenz/etc, highlight their use of synths such as those they are pictured with. How viable/useful/popular do you think that might be?

John Carpenter and Alan Howarth.
