@Apathesis0 i feel like analog is making a comeback but i ALSO feel like we will never see the CS-80 in this original incarnation ever again. :/ it wasnt a big seller then so i doubt they would even bother with a re-release :(((

there is one on ebay for 12,000.00

@neolojism My CS80's cost me £250 and £1300 respectively. But that was just luck... you need luck on your side and keep an eye open...;c)

I have an itch to watch Carl Sagan's Cosmos again.

@Apathesis0 Nobody could afford it, I guarantee.

Aparently he claims to have written the chariots of fire theme in 1- to 15 minutes

I love how that one red light makes what we're seeing virtually as epic and otherwordly as what we're hearing.

@Apathesis0 yes!

@DjaveBikinus LOL But yeah, Vangelis is a great composer because he was able to take synthesizers and treat them like symphonic instruments, as well as radical soundscaping tools. While the right technology can help bring forth the purest form of the composer's idea, the composer must still think of it (and someone must perform it, unless you know how to). Analog/digital/hybrid means nothing unless it resonates within you.
Yamaha needs to reissue this badass synth.

He was so far ahead of his time... And even still, this old, wonderful, vintage synth sounds great.
His work........his legacy will never die.
