That's Synthtastic!

I have a big heart for synths and the sounds they make and it probably stems from playing with a micromoog as a small child. So, here a few synth links to enjoy.

When I think of how to describe the "synth sound", I would probably say the Dr. Who theme song is a good example, but I recently found out, that it contains no synth at all. Whoops! After reading about how the original theme song was made without synths, I have even more respect for this fantastic piece of music.

Ever heard of a Novachord? It turns out there were synths made in 1937 by Hammond Organ! Check out the Novachord Restoration Project where you can see and hear the magnificent machine from now and in the past.

Here's a scanned history (1976-78) of an electronic music magazine: Synapse there's interviews with Devo, Zappa, Eno, Moog, Hillage, plus lots more goodies...

For some more fun, here's a sales album for the moog: The Sound of the Moog (it takes a while to load but is a good listen).
