For enthusiast of analog synthesizers, those curious about the history of these beastly and awesome instruments that came out in the 60’s-90’s.
But I appreciate that in this series the british host and writers add a bit of humor, a bit of randomness that reminds me of some of the Monty Python films.
Some of these old machines can be now found on eBay now for under $100, while others are worth tens of thousands of dollars.
You can learn about the instruments, what famous tracks they were used on, what was unique about each one.
Highly entertaining! I highly recommend!
