I can't let you be the only music geek who knows who Robert Moog is.
Music would not be what it is today without Moog's innovations.

Count me in as another Moog enthusiast. Too bad so few people here seem to know who he is (at least judging from the lack of response to this thread) or the invaluable role he played in music.Key Lime Lee wrote:I can't let you be the only music geek who knows who Robert Moog is.

The incredible sounds from keyboard virtuosos Rick Wakeman and Keith Emerson would never have been created without Moog's contributions.
Myself, I used to play a Yamaha keyboard/synth that WOULD NOT be remembered as legendary

once I finally realized that this was the Moog synthesizer guy (duh) I understood that he abolutely played a very important role in music.

As Lightning Bolt said.... Keith Emerson (Emerson, Lake & Palmer) the music that came out of his keyboards would have never been the same without the Moog Synth..... Still would have been great, just not the same...

All the more reason for an "Other Artists/Music" section instead of the very vaguely worded "Related Artists" section that's in place now.ejr wrote:once I finally realized that this was the Moog synthesizer guy (duh) I understood that he abolutely played a very important role in music.

The Mini-Moog was an amazing piece of equipment but its oscillators were very sensitive to temperature and humidity. That meant retuning throughout that nights gig. I personally owned an ARP Odyssey and if you know nothing about how these dinosaurs work you would be lost. 
I almost got the ARP 2600 which looked like a telephone operator's console from way back when. I mean patch cords everwhere.
I have a friend who still has and uses his Mini-Moog, of course he is one of those people that can listen to a song once and chart it out for the entire band.

3. Basket Case
4. Come Out And Play
5. Free Fallin'
6. Are You Gonna Go My Way?
7. Smells Like Teen Spirit
8. Evenflow
9. The One I Love
10. Rockin' In The Free World
Album Credits
Meco Eno, Engineer
Uli Nomi, Engineer
Album Notes
THE MOOG COOKBOOK contains versions of alternative hits performed on Moog synthesizers.
The Moog Cookbook: Meco Eno, Uli Nomi.
THE MOOG COOKBOOK is a space-age grunge send-up, with various hits of the Nirvana era redone in a variety of retro styles on extremely cheesy sounding drum machines and analog keyboards from the '70s. Thus Green Day's power punk "Basket Case" morphs into what sounds like the backing track for a Doobie Brothers song featuring Michael McDonald. R.E.M.s "The One I Love" turns into the theme from "Sanford and Son." Soundgarden's "Black Hole Son" is could easily be mistaken for something from the LAMBADA soundtrack. The cream of the jest is that THE MOOG COOKBOOK is largely the brainchild of Roger Manning, formerly of ambitious early '90s psychedelic popsters Jellyfish. What Manning is skewering so wickedly here is, of course, the musical movement that effectively shut his old band down in the marketplace.
In all, this collection is extremely funny, extremely nasty, and an astute piece of rock criticism

Sail on, Bob Moog! You made and leave a lasting influence, innovation, and a leagacy on the music world and the ears of listeners, that not many could ever hope to touch.
Thank you!
BTW....Does anyone remember the movie Close Encounters of The Third Kind ???
If I am not mistaken,...I think I read somewhere that they used 1 of 2? 1 of 5? Of his ( whatever model ) Synths that existed at the time....at the end, where they are set up for the contact and play the infamous "ditty"? "chime?? theme?? Whatever you want to call it... and communicated with the ETs with the music and lights...
