Robert Moog (1934-2005)


Robert Moog, the inventor of the Moog Synthesizer, died yesterday. As it is with anything that happened 35 to 40 years ago, it's hard to explain to someone who wasn't there how unusual and distinctive the sound of a Moog was, and indeed still is.

Seems appropriate to listen to some ELP and Yes tonight.
