[space6oy]

just teasing. i have no idea what i'd throw out there as a favorite synth "anthem."

[Phollop Willing PA]

There are three main things that I like about this Orbital clip

1. It's the Doctor Who theme

2. Matt Smith (the current doctor) makes an appearance and appears to be playing something, maybe an Andromeda (and it's supposed to be the first time in Doctor Who history that a current Doctor played the Doctor Who theme in a concert situation)

and

3. There 's a MacBeth M5 in the background.

The doctor Who theme with Orbital is truly an anthem worth the name.

If it was a 303 anthem Id sugest this:


Otherwise, and if a sad mood is acceptable:

[iProg]

Easily, the cue "Orange Light" from Apocalypse Now

[balma]

So, so many great sounds on this song

Easily, the cue "Orange Light" from Apocalypse Now

That track was recorded by Bernie Krause using the big Moog at Zoetrope studios*. Nyle Steiner
later overdubbed some parts with his EVI.

* According to Nyle there was definitely a string machine at Bernie's sessions and he was pretty sure
he used it in combination with the Moog to make the string sounds. He couldn't remember for sure the make but
it may have been an Omni or Solina.

This one is a guilty pleasure of mine.

Atlantis Rising by Automatic Man (just the first 90 seconds of this vid)



then this reprise at the end of the album



Synthesist (and vocalist) is Bayete

Truly bizarre mix of prog, fusion and Jimi Hendrix from 1976

[Micke]

I just love the first 4 minutes of this Anthem-like track by Angel:



The Fortune from the 1976 album "Helluva Band"

Greg Giuffria on Moog modular, mellotron and Solina (Moog programming by Dan Wyman of Sound Arts).

Now, that's what I call an ominous/dark bass sound.

A lot of nice post and great listening here, keep'em coming people.

[Umbe78]

I LOVE the riff that starts at 30sec

at 47 sec COOL!!


and everything by MORODER

[Pro5]

from the above:

Dr Who theme (the Late 70s/early 80s version)
Tour De France

and call me Mr Obvious but:

Oxygene IV
Axel F
19



have to be contenders for 'greatest' in terms of recognition they gained for synths in popular culture.

And I'm not too keen on that Orbital clip, doesn't seem to be as grand as it could have been and nothing against Orbital but that new Dr Who actor comes over as a bit of an arrogant Nob.

Anthem?

Propaganda - P-Machinery




and Donna Summer "I Feel Love"

[EmptySet]

Die Roboter, natürlich.
