I wasn't aware of that, cool!

Here's a pic of the ANS (built in 1960 or 1961):

Solaris (Edward Artemyev, 1972)


Artemyev's eerie sounding electro-acoustic score was recorded on the ancient ANS photoelectric synthesizer:

I believe Jack Nitzsche's soundtrack for "Performance" (1968) was the first use of the Moog modular in a movie. It also appears in the film (Mick Jagger plays with it briefly). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyP0dgNSqok Also there is also Gil Melle's soundtrack to "Andromeda Strain" (1971), which i...

John Carpenter recorded the soundtrack to Dark Star back in 1973 at some guy's home using an EMS VCS3.

Maybe I have overlooked something here, but you seem to have forgot the most obvious connection between motion picture and synthesizer; Steven Spielbergs classic "Close encounter of the third kind" (1977)starring an ARP 2500 system as audio interface between human and aliens. Yes but neither the TO...

Wow Micke.... thats unbelievable... keep me busy for hours :) I've been trying to think of the film that has the Tonto in it.... maybe my brain is fried but I remember phantom of the opera and the tonto... maybe I'm wrong. The title of the film you're thinking of is Phantom Of The Paradise (1974) H...

Hey Micke - since you have a direct contact with MM of Simple Minds, can you ask him the following two questions: 1. Instrument make and model of the synth stabs played during the chorus of Don't You Forget About Me. I would also like to know what he used for the single note likes during the verses...

nice! i would also add some of the stellar electronics in Donnie Darko , and stray to television for the evil, eerie warmth that is the opening to the 1980's Tales from the Darkside series, i think that was John Harrison, too. and also, the entire Wendy Carlos soundtrack to A Clockwork Orange , may...

Thanks Koa :D

Btw, does anyone happen to have a copy of the following BBC Radiophonic album in their collection:

If so, please PM me

Nope, it's most likely the Arp Odyssey (or possibly a Minimoog). Here's the gearlist for "Metamatic" (recorded at the end of 1979): Arp Odyssey Roland CR-78 Elka Rhapsody 610 MiniMoog Hammond B-3 Hohner Clavinet Upright piano (out of tune Pathway monster) Of these, the Odyssey is by far the most fea...

There are actually four CS-80's in the No One Driving video, however to the best of my knowledge John Foxx didn't record with one until later. Foxx' second album "In The Garden" (1981) might feature the CS-80 but I'm not sure. If so it was probably hired because I don't think he ever owned one. Micke
