Allison typed forth and the following was the result:
And to my ears, there's nothing like a full-bore Hammond being
driven by Jon Lord from Deep Purple. Nobody, but nobody gets that
angry, hulking, growling sound from an organ like Lord.
Speaking of Tomita....on his "Bermuda Triangle" album (mine is on
blue vinyl......) he included an encoded message that required
someone with a Tarbell cassette interface to read. I never had the
necessary equipment, and it's always bugged me as to what the
message was. Has anyone here ever decoded it?
I'm not familiar with Subotnick. What is his style? Is it more like
Carlos, Tomita, or Fast? Or, something completely different?

Well to a lot
of people used to Lawrence Welk, synth music has been
likened to 'crap' . . . .
I don't know, that human pumped synth was pretty neat. ;)
There is a lot of good synth music out there if
you look for it, and
don't try to compare it to symphonic scores. Morton Subotnick and
Tomita were the early leaders, among others. Quite a few of them were
on the Nonesuch
You named a few of mine plus vinyl from the early computer music
conferences.
they are so danged heavy. I have three of them:
B3, M3 and X77.
Havent banged on one of those in years, nothing like Taccota&fuege/Dminor
to a rock beat on a full bore C3... gave the prof gray hair.
