Huge fun!
Loved the CZ-101 and the Evolver, as well as all the rare instruments. But what brand and model was the make-up mirror?? Lol

Yes, cool indeed.
Reminds me of the other night when I was watching an old Santana gig; his keyboardist had a Jupiter 8. And when Herbie Hancock sits in with the band a second Jupiter 8 is in...
Yes. Correct. The only thing I could not remember properly was its accurate model number.
And yes, it was in fact a leap forward to any rock or jazz musician because it allowed freedom from a...
Excellent! I am enjoying the first part (finally). It brings back so many memories of seeing UK twice on that first tour (NJ and Wolman Rink, NYC). Damn!
Despite the varying ages, I think one...
Isn’t that fun when you discover something like that? I somehow lucked into that 76 show at the Beacon…I was at a party for my old grammar school pal when I met a fellow who bragged about his ticket...
That was the following year (1978); and I too was at that gig. Fortunately, at that 78 gig I still had film left when Peter came out (hardly anyone knew who he was due to the buzz cut and Mao...
Very cool.
There are so many ways to make music. They are all perfectly capable of producing excellent music.
Fascinating! I like that approach.
There are so many options available, aren’t there? From sitting behind a kit, a mic or two, and a simple recording device all the way to the fullest integration...
Wow!
I love this thread. You all have so much awareness and experience.
Thank you!!
I can see that. And as implied above, I do see that there is a time and a place for all hardware (and software).
I am sure you could tell I was purposefully being over-dramatic. Yes, I do feel that the early users made some errors in judgement about how best to use the CR-78 and other similar machines, but I DO...
Sure, we come back to these gems precisely because they are brilliant compositions performed by masters. They are…eternal. There are always cool, new interpretation and new pieces, but how do you...
I am shaking uncontrollably, sweating, and hiding in the corner at the merest mention of the CR-78…from too many times being tortured by Phil Collins twiddling his CR-78 endlessly in concerts. To me,...
Ha ha. I know that feeling. You seem to have this handled! But yes, re-wiring…the bane of those that are hardware based. My set-up is ridiculous as far as cables go.
Very cool! I knew you would know, John!
Thanks!!
And how was it??
…as usual, I continue on the musician bios and autobios. Latest is Geddy Lee’s (most excellent) and Brian’s from AC/DC (“The Lives of Brian”).
Because I have had multiple synths and modules for quite a few years I often do this…I have multiple Yamaha TX and DX units that work great when doing the hard pan/same voice-with-tweaks technique....
Yes, I too was pleased to see it; it came to me through a scan of the MSN news. I was a bit surprised to see our boy in the mainstream media. And yes, a good article.
On his comments on modern...
This is the missing piece in my collection. (LOL)
Ordered!!!!
I thought this video fit the title and spirit of this thread because it uses TWO Berlinger synths for a very cool, stereo, analog landscape:

Is Gavin Harrison drumming on the record? If so, I am in, no matter what the material. if not, y’all have me thinking this is a pass.
Ooh…Rush. i have not ever heard Rush in Surround…I think that amongst my standard Rush CDs I might have a special package or two, so perhaps some Surround Rush is waiting for me.
Thanks for the...
Wow, tiny! That will be a great option for many people.
My Nord C1 does such a fine job for me, and with the double manual it really feels like the real deal.
Very cool!
That is a fine record. I’d love to hear the SACD.
I wish we could get Orange and Blue in surround. That is one of his best.
Oh thank goodness! I was worried that you might be softening and becoming a wee bit more accepting, but fortunately, there is no need to worry! Phew!
I’m just giving you a gentle poking, Frum…
Great comment!
What i love about it (besides the important message) is the quality of the vocals, the driving drums and bass, and that guitar work!
The vocals alone are impressive. The lead...
Stan says in the PR that he wondered what Lennon would have said about the current state of affairs.
I fully agree with Lerxst.
The guitarist in question blew me away when I got his band’s first record. I saw them at The U of Arizona. Phenomenal gig. off the charts. Still have a cassette...
For me, the real intrigue is how they pulled off the subterfuge. The label was expecting them to cover several classical pieces. they delivered their own, new composition. Apparently it was quite a...
Some cool promo attention:

Yes indeed. Gary is crazy impressive. Amazing chops, and. Great sense of what works.
Gary’s resume is full of the best bands on the planet, including Steely Dan.
As Rick said, Frank would have...
They chose a perfect day to release it. The artwork is perfect for the day and for the tune.
You are in for a treat, kids.
Stan really belts it out on this one. It really is a different sort of...
The artwork for it is really wonderful…very powerful image.
The song is simply killer. You have no idea how good Stan’s voice is on this. And Rick did an amazing job mixing.
You are in for a...
It is fantastic!
Speaking of the HTM Universe, Rick was teasing with some photographs that will promote the HTM tune written by Stan called “Only Love.” It will be released on MLK Day.
…I always feel it is the one reason to buy the fancy re-releases…you get the original mix as well with most of the deluxe packages.
And yes, I too fell for the Alan Parsons album when it was...
Tales of Mystery and Imagination!
One of my top three albums!!!
And Interbellum…if you were truly the only poster on this thread I would still cite it as one of the better threads on PE....
…In that Laurel Canyon documentary one of the well-known musicians lists off all the well-know players in the neighborhood and when he mentions Zappa’s house he says how lots of people dropped by to...
Two excellent posts! Thank you for all this info!
I have always been intrigued by SACD but have not dipped my toe into that word.
What a nice post.
This is the way to say this sort of thing.
I personally am bonkers for Low and Heroes, and Lodger is not bad at all. Low is simply sublime. And yes, side two old heroes,...
Absolutely! I really like his writing style…excellent lyrics…they are clear enough to lay out a story, but oblique enough to allow all of us to fill in the blanks and feel like our own story.
….speaking of which, Mr. Reed seemingly taunted me with an oblique reference in an email recently. The implication seemed to be that Volume II might be close. But i have not confirmed this yet Stand...
The 12 year old Aberfeldy I bought at COSTCO for $19.97 was my favorite! (Close out)
I see where Peter Gabriel got the idea for the cover photo on his new CD.
I didn’t check all the replies, so forgive me if it has been mentioned, but the WINNER is Keith Emerson’s Inferno soundtrack.
The movie: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inferno_(1980_film)
I know what you mean! I am in the same boat…never enough time.
The Strymon and Eventide alone will keep you busy for quite some time. Between those two, your other effects, and the ‘Freak, you can...
WOW, what a story! I am very glad you bought the Minifreak. I know from experience that the micro is a blast so the mini should be even cooler.
Enjoy!!!
I am not an expert, but I know that all three get excellent reviews and are very popular.
If you want to go really big, the SQ-64 is the winner.
Tell us what you decide upon.
These originally-Quad mixes that have been turned into Surround fascinate me. First, as a teenager I was smitten with the quad receivers and setups I saw in the catalogs. And second because i am...
In the “Old Business” department, I just checked the web and found nothing about Wakey’s stolen gear being recovered. So apparently it never was?? It is surprising because as his son Adam said, the...
As an owner of several Gu Zhengs, my feeling is that they were going for a Japanese or Chinese feeling there and that Steve was imitating a koto or Gu Zheng. The dramatic pitch bends are more Asian...
I don’t think I can resist!
WOW, this looks to be great! Thanks so much! Like most of you, I also had my ears blown open by Holdsworth, and it all seemed to happen at once: Gong, UK, Bruford, his solo work, etc.
Seeing...
I am so glad to hear this! I look forward to my copy (I got the “Shipped” notification). I wanted to experience it all at the same time, so I have not listened over the many moons that have crossed...
Thank you!
(I loved the person selling a copy that had a $46 shipping charge. Shipping is simply…all over the place. I recently purchased an older, heavy synth module, and was astounded that it...
Thank you for your excellent work!!
Very cool! I did not realize there was a Surround version of that excellent recording.
Thank you very much! I will check out that link.
Yes, the EX-5R was at least half of the other (inflated) listings. There is a small issue with some of the buttons for the 1-9 numbers, but one can...
