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
