Moog Opus 3: An Early 80s Synth You Might Recognize From The Early 90s

When you're the sole remaining member of a band that's inspired by early 90s alternative pop bands who were in turn inspired by early 80s synth pop, you really owe it to yourself to get a Moog Opus 3. Not only can this celebration of everything that is synth pop generate a nearly limitless variety of classic and neo-classic tones, but it can also serve as accompaniment for your solo show through the employment of a technique that Mr. Dan Marshall describes herein (hint: it involves the simple tool know as the "wedge").

i kept thinking, "why doesn't this guy play the thing?!"

id argue this is more a 70s sounding synth then an 80s one- its drones are awesome

'One of the first polyphonic moogs'? would that be the polymoog by any chance?

Nice video! You are wearing a shirt of one of my favourite bands: The Jesus & Mary Chain! Their cd "Automatic" from 1989 is B R I L L I A N T ! On this cd the fantastic number "Head On", that was later covered by Frank Black ( singer of the Pixies ).See my series of videos about my record collection "A voice for vinyl" here on You Tube.Greetz Jason
