Synth Wizards - A Picture Thread

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!

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?
