While I commned any publication who tries to educate the public in the history of synthesizers and the like, I can't say I would reccomend this magazine. There are quite few glaring errors in at (inculding calling ARP nothing but a "moog ripoff" or something of the sort among other things). If you want a good history of the synthesizer industry, pick up the Vintage Synths book keyboard magazine put out. While there may be some mistakes in there as well, it gives a much more well rounded view and doesn't go out of its way to slight anything not from "the mighty moog". Alot less gen x hype )moog iron on - bah!) and alot more facts. I am in now way trying to slight moog or moog music btw, there is no denying the important role they played in the evolution of the sythesizer. But i dont see any reason to let the current hype over "everything moog" to allow us to play fast and free with the facts as much as Grand Royal did. BTW, this issue and its shortcomings and mistakes have been discussed quite a bit on Analoge Heaven, the mailing list I admin on hyperreal. the archives are available for browsing at: http://hyperreal.com:2000/1/music/machines/Analogue-Heaven/archives/ Rob Williams</>fEEd</>Tempest rw@goldengate.net</>tempest@hyperreal.com

Grand Royal magazine , produced by the beastie boys with help from lots of others, has put out (its been out since last year) a pretty mind expanding assortment of moog related articles in their issue #3. The magazine also looks pretty damn spacey and has an iron on moog decal (ooh baby) electronic features include bob moog , wendy carlos , the island of electronics , an interview with one of the first moog salesmen , the new england synthesizer museum , how to build a theremin , and my own favourite an interview with Dick Hyman . punch it chewie .... their e-mail addy if you want to get a copy is grmag@biggun.com I am not affiliated with the beasties , I just think this issue is a work of genius. respects c . u . e . f a x l a b e l u . s . a . 8 7 e t h e l a v e n u e # 2 , m i l l v a l l e y . c a l i f o r n i a 9 4 9 4 1 . 4 1 5 3 8 3 7 9 9 0 real audio sound bites and more... http://www.sirius.com/~faxlabel/ (appearing as a rebel commander with the ewoks in the Return of the Jedi)

Heh, tho I think the Grand Royal article goes a bit past "biased". Biased I can take (and expect), incorrect to the point of uselessness in the name of gen x hype is another thing. ;) Hey, if you get the mag and enjoy it, more power to you. Just take what they say with a grain of salt ok? Just trying to stop the spread of misinformation. Soemthing new to this list Im sure. ;)

quoted 1 line Plus theres the Article about breaking into Hotel Swimming Pools.
