	♥ 3:05pm Michael 98145: Robot Dance Party!
	♥ 3:06pm Funky16Corners: Michael!
	3:08pm still b/p: In 1969, I'm guessing that Aquarius version struck listeners as less semi-Muzak-y than it feels now.
	🥁 ♥ 3:08pm dutchtheo: Hey Larry, and aquarius kids, life is a gas
	♥ 3:08pm StringOFperils: The Age of Wave Square-ius
	3:08pm Erica: I feel like Keith Emerson is in the room with that moog synth.
	♥ 3:08pm Funky16Corners: The Moog was such novelty at the time, and the sounds it made were new and unfamiliar. Now you can buy somethng that makes noises like that at Target
	3:08pm Erica: I feel like Keith Emerson is in the room with that moog synth.
	♥ 3:08pm Funky16Corners: Hey Theo!
	♥ 3:09pm Funky16Corners: Erica!
	♥ 3:09pm coelacanth☯: Keith Emerson ghost in the Moog machine
	3:10pm SquigY0: what's up moogs and moogettes?
	♥ 3:10pm Funky16Corners: He'll be ghosting us today. No ELP.
	♥ 3:10pm Funky16Corners: SquigY0!
	3:11pm SquigY0: greetings Larry et al
	🥁 ♥ 3:11pm Jeff Ash: Late to the party, but greetings to everyone from Green Bay, where a winter storm approaches.
	♥ 3:11pm Funky16Corners: Hey Jeff!
	3:11pm Erica: The prog rock fans would be disappointed to hear that Larry.
	♥ 3:12pm coelacanth☯: i was dazzled. ~5th-6th grade i did a report on the moog synthesizer. i probably mispronounced the name.
	♥ 3:12pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - That's OK, we took care of them a while back.
	3:15pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Good afternoon everybody... :)
	3:18pm CalZone!: I'm SWITCHED ON , Larry!
	♥ 3:19pm coelacanth☯: seeing Keith Emerson on stage (on tv) with that monstrous pile of gear back in the day used to remind me of a dark "mad" scientist laboratory in an ancient castle
	♥ 3:19pm Funky16Corners: Chef! Cal!
	♥ 3:19pm Funky16Corners: Oddly enough, Emerson;s main axe was the Hammond
	3:20pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Of course this song changed my life... :)
	♥ 3:20pm StringOFperils: Walter Carlos and Isao Tomita. Mad scientist geniuses.
	3:21pm SquigY0: hey Vincent!!
	♥ 3:21pm Funky16Corners: You'll be hearing from both of them later on
	♥ 3:21pm Funky16Corners: @Chef - Pisces Aquarius et al is such a great album!
	♥ 3:21pm coelacanth☯: ...used as a novelty. i read many years ago that here comes the sun on abbey rd was the first recorded (released) song using the synthesizer as a musical instrument. i doubted it, but maybe.
	♥ 3:22pm Funky16Corners: That is incorrect. Almost everything in the first half of this set predates Abbey Road
	♥ 3:22pm coelacanth☯: @319 well he was first a classical musician, and a damned good one
	♥ 3:23pm Funky16Corners: He was great, too. I dig The Nice and ELP, but not really hitting prog rock today.
	♥ 3:23pm coelacanth☯: right, well i hear it in this song. the monkees song doesn't count. that was just novelty sound effect.
	♥ 3:23pm StringOFperils: I think Milton Babbitt was the first electronic music I ever heard.
	♥ 3:24pm StringOFperils: Maybe that was just tape manipulation?
	♥ 3:24pm Funky16Corners: It goes way back before the Moog. That'd be a whole other show
	3:25pm SquigY0: okay these notes have my dogs super confused :D
	3:25pm Vincent The Soul Chef: I had a copy of Dick Hyman's "The Minotaur" when I was five years old... it was so fascinating...
	♥ 3:25pm Funky16Corners: I think tape manipulaton counts
	3:25pm CalZone!: Brotherhood track was great. New to me!
	♥ 3:26pm Funky16Corners: That's a GREAT album. Three ex-Raiders
	♥ 3:26pm Brian in UK: Not on the original release, though the Byrds always had so much variety on their albums.
	♥ 3:26pm Funky16Corners: Drake, Smitty and Fang! www.discogs.com...
	♥ 3:27pm Funky16Corners: @Brian - Not even really The Byrds. Credited to McGuinn, but it's Paul Beaver playing the MOOG
	3:28pm moog1 Radio: Just got here! what i miss?
	♥ 3:28pm Funky16Corners: Hey Kurt!
	3:29pm moog1 Radio: Love the Renzetti!!! He does the NFL Films music
	♥ 3:30pm Funky16Corners: Super-talented guy!
	3:31pm CalZone!: I'm driving through a car wash now, and this is a perfect soundtrack!
	♥ 3:31pm Brian in UK: I may be a moonchild but the windows are staying closed until at least mid March!
	♥ 3:31pm Funky16Corners: DON'T FREAK OUT MAN!!!
	3:31pm SquigY0: hahah that's trippy
	3:31pm moog1 Radio: Paul Beaver is the Moog guy for the Monkees Daily Nightly. He also did moog for Emil Richards around the same time
	3:31pm Erica: Rock and Roll meets moog and spoken word.
	♥ 3:32pm Funky16Corners: This is a wild album! Beaver is the Moog guy on this, too!
	3:32pm CalZone!: KURT Mooooooooooooo0000000000000000OOOOOOOOOOOOGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!
	♥ 3:34pm Brian in UK: Beaver & Krause's All Good Men is a favourite in this house. Not so much Moog.
	♥ 3:35pm Funky16Corners: This show is best listened to on giant speakers, or on headphones with the volume WAY up
	♥ 3:35pm Funky16Corners: @Brian - Krauee moved on to environmental recording. They did some of that as a duo (like 'People's Park')
	♥ 3:36pm Funky16Corners: BTW next one is a killer...
	♥ 3:36pm dreamyandseedy: really jealous of Calzone right now
	3:36pm moog1 radio: I have obtained 3 copies of this LP through record shows in chicago and milwaukee
	♥ 3:36pm Funky16Corners: Hey Dreamy!
	♥ 3:37pm Funky16Corners: @Kurt - which one? Electronicus?
	3:37pm moog1 radio: The Mort but I have 2 copies of this Hyman
	♥ 3:37pm StringOFperils: Ooo yeah, this is MUCH better on nice headphones.
	♥ 3:37pm Funky16Corners: I've actually DJ'd this in funk sets
	3:37pm moog1 radio: and I have it on Reel
	♥ 3:37pm Funky16Corners: I never made the leap to reel-to-reel
	3:38pm moog1 radio: They added this track on the official Varese Sarabande CD reissue of Moog Ecclectic Electronics of Dick Hyman as a bonus track
	♥ 3:39pm Funky16Corners: Speaking of...
	3:39pm moog1 radio: That CD reissue sent me down a long and weird path
	3:40pm moog1 radio: This track charted in the WLS Top 40 singles chart in June 1969
	♥ 3:40pm Funky16Corners: I wish I'd had this record back in the olden days when I was a fan of chemical manipulation of the senses...
	♥ 3:40pm Funky16Corners: @Kurt - There's a 45 edit of this, right?
	♥ 3:41pm Funky16Corners: I'll bet Keith Emerson had copy of this record.
	3:41pm Vincent The Soul Chef: The 45 runs 7 minutes...
	♥ 3:41pm StringOFperils: No kidding...that Lucky Man outro...
	3:42pm moog1 radio: Yes there is but I have never located it. It is the flip of the 7 minute version and on a white label
	♥ 3:42pm Funky16Corners: Anyone who ever saw Dick Hyman play live raise their hand! (Raises hand...)
	3:43pm Erica: Wooah wooah. The Lucky Man outro was sung by Homer Simpson.
	3:44pm Vincent The Soul Chef: I wish, Larry... although I really want more like that Respect 45.
	3:45pm moog1 radio: My yellow lab is going bonkers!!
	♥ 3:45pm Funky16Corners: I wish you could post that here!
	3:45pm Vincent The Soul Chef: I guess he didn't play any on the Hammond when you saw him...
	♥ 3:46pm Funky16Corners: @Vincent - Hyman wasn't doing stuff like this. Straight jazz, but he was playing with drummer Bobby Rosengarden, who layed the drums on that take of Give It Up of Turn It Loose
	3:46pm moog1 radio: Do you have Hyman's non LP 45 Strobo?
	♥ 3:46pm Funky16Corners: PLAYED the drums...
	♥ 3:46pm Funky16Corners: I do not have that 45.
	3:47pm moog1 radio: b/w Lay Lady Lay
	♥ 3:47pm StringOFperils: Well, this is 'give the drummer some'
	3:48pm moog1 radio: Otis Fodder found another non LP Hyman Moog track on an obscure compilation
	♥ 3:50pm Funky16Corners: Any idea what it was?
	3:51pm moog1 radio: I'm looking through some of his old playlists and cant find it
	3:51pm moog1 radio: He was guesting on another program when he told the story
	♥ 3:52pm Funky16Corners: BTW these tracks from Gandharva were recorded in Grace Cathedral in San Francisco. That's the natural reverb of a huge stone building!
	♥ 3:52pm coelacanth☯: even when i was little, and dazzled by the moog, i Hated that lucky man outro! talk about killing a mood...
	♥ 3:53pm StringOFperils: I'm sure Otis would be excited to tell you. He's enthusiastic. He's an email away.
	3:54pm moog1 radio: He'd love this set
	♥ 4:04pm coelacanth☯: "synapses"?
	♥ 4:05pm StringOFperils: auditory-tactile synesthesia?
	♥ 4:06pm Funky16Corners: That sounds about right
	4:06pm Erica: I feel looooooovvveee.
	4:06pm moog1 radio: Giorgio!
	4:06pm ike p: greetings and thanks for an awesome show - i'm glad i grabbed headphones when i did :)
	♥ 4:07pm Funky16Corners: I remember being hypnotized by this on the radio as a kid
	4:07pm Vincent The Soul Chef: THEE godmother of techno is singing this song <3
	4:07pm moog1 radio: Lots of Moog on his Son of My Father record
	♥ 4:07pm Funky16Corners: Hey Ike!
	4:07pm Erica: Loooooooooove.
	4:08pm ike p: my earholes are full
	♥ 4:08pm Funky16Corners: The story is that when Brian Eno heard this record he proclaimed it the future of dance music for the next 15 years
	♥ 4:08pm Funky16Corners: He wasn't kidding
	♥ 4:08pm StringOFperils: The REVOLVER of techno.
	4:08pm CalZone!: Great headphone music! Also probably a great carwash song! Should I go through again?
	♥ 4:09pm StringOFperils: Sprung fully formed from the forehead of Zeus.
	♥ 4:09pm Funky16Corners: I was reading today that the kick drum is real on this, played on an actual drum
	♥ 4:09pm Funky16Corners: @Cal - Go drive through some mud and go back in
	4:09pm moog1 radio: Be thankful it isnt love to love you baby or that car wash would stretch to Buffalo
	4:10pm ike p: by gawd - that one arhythmic beat is just crazy math going on
	♥ 4:10pm Funky16Corners: That'll dirty up the car...
	4:10pm CalZone!: HAHA Moog!
	♥ 4:10pm coelacanth☯: it's kind of a mindfuck, the synthesizer program not being in time with the drum machine
	4:10pm moog1 radio: Won't a car wash short out your eclectic electric car?
	♥ 4:11pm Funky16Corners: Can you imagine hearing this on a big, club sound system?
	♥ 4:11pm StringOFperils: Dry shampoo.
	🥁 ♥ 4:11pm Mx. Granny (e/em): ok, i got here at a good moment! hello, Larry and folx!
	♥ 4:12pm Funky16Corners: Granny!
	4:12pm ike p: coelacanth - thank you that makes much more sense :)
	♥ 4:12pm coelacanth☯: Larry @409 that's believable. i think there're 3 different beats going on right now
	🥁 ♥ 4:13pm Mx. Granny (e/em): that mischievous Moroder!
	4:13pm Erica: I noticed that too Coel. The timing is off.
	♥ 4:13pm StringOFperils: I first heard this on a big sound system in a bar with a live DJ booth when it came out....and begrudgingly realized that I liked it...and whatever that thing called disco was wasn't what I was hearing
	4:13pm ike p: of course that's not how it went in qa at all
	4:14pm northguineahills: I had a friend who was in the Bob Moog doc. She knew him well enough he made a custom-built theremin just for her (she was a professional theremin player).
	♥ 4:14pm coelacanth☯: i have heard this on big, club sound systems. a bunch of times. i was not appreciative of it then, unfortunately
	♥ 4:15pm Funky16Corners: Hey NGH!
	4:15pm moog1 radio: I got this on my Jukebox! The 45 version of course, but there is also a radio promo edit version out there
	♥ 4:16pm Funky16Corners: Another record that charted Top 40!
	4:16pm northguineahills: I've heard it on large club soundsystems many times (but I had friend who was a disco dj in the 2000s-2010s)
	4:16pm Erica: Kraftwork for the win.
	♥ 4:17pm WR: hi Larry and all. have been connected since the Tommy / Sparks selection but was in and out of work calls until your back announce before Donna Summer. Very interesting that at least one of the tracks, i think one of the Beaver & Krause tracks made me think i was hearing a Keith Emerson song i had forgotten. on lunch break now so can listen more attentively.
	♥ 4:17pm Funky16Corners: There's something special about he physicality of volume with a record that has a great beat.
	♥ 4:17pm coelacanth☯: ^what Erica said
	♥ 4:17pm Funky16Corners: Hey WR!
	♥ 4:17pm Funky16Corners: I think it might have been 'The Minotaur' by Dick Hyman. Very Emerson-esque
	♥ 4:19pm coelacanth☯: i think it was. i was in the kithen and the music was a little too low until that one goofy moog siren came busting through!
	4:19pm northguineahills: This was the first Kraftwerk album I got (in '94)
	♥ 4:22pm Funky16Corners: Kraftwerk were masters.
	4:23pm Erica: Ahead of their time indeed Larry.
	🥁 ♥ 4:23pm Mx. Granny (e/em): i HAVE actually performed this at karaoke! LOL!
	♥ 4:23pm Doug in JC: Mx. Granny That is hilarious
	♥ 4:23pm Funky16Corners: This may be the prefect karaoke song, if, like me, you have a hard time remembering lyrics
	♥ 4:23pm doctorjazz: Hi Funky one!
	4:23pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Why they are STILL not in the rock and roll hall of fame absolutely boggles my mind...
	♥ 4:24pm WR: thanks Larry, you're probably right, will relisten later. I learned of Beaver & Krause when " All Good Men " came out and quickly got the previous two on WB Rec. and the one on Limelight. Like them all very much but "All Good Men " made the most impression on me. Don't know if is the compositions that does it for me or if it was being the first one.
	♥ 4:25pm Funky16Corners: It's funny, but for many years I only knew their names because Gandharva was in a couple of books of album cover art that I had.
	♥ 4:25pm Funky16Corners: Then a friend made me a copy of Gandharva and it blew me away
	4:26pm still b/p: I've wondered about trying to recreate it acapella with a few people. It's a few years since I mentioned this in comments, so maybe it can be recalled again: A forever association with listening to Autobahn is while driving midwest highways in a friend's '54 DeSoto in late 70s. Friend and former coworker has an early generation Mini-Moog. Don't think it's plugged in very often...if ever.
	♥ 4:27pm Funky16Corners: There's quite a market for vintage synths
	♥ 4:28pm Funky16Corners: Isn't it nice being on freeform radio where you can play a 21 minute track every once in a while?
	♥ 4:28pm Funky16Corners: STILL not the longest track I've ever played on Testify!
	♥ 4:29pm Funky16Corners: An I played it on the prog raock special I did a ways back...
	♥ 4:29pm Funky16Corners: Echoes, by Pink Floyd
	♥ 4:29pm Doug in JC: I like this song but it really feels as long as it is
	4:29pm ike p: so glad i found this station! looks like i'm off to the archives...
	4:29pm SquigY0: wow it IS still going! :D
	♥ 4:30pm Funky16Corners: Oh yeah, you really get your 21 minutes worth. You can go make a snack, eat it, fold the wash, and come back for the end
	🥁 ♥ 4:30pm Mx. Granny (e/em): i've never performed 4'33 as a karaoke song, but i was in a band that did a version
	♥ 4:30pm Funky16Corners: And hey Doug!
	♥ 4:30pm coelacanth☯: i'm loving every lovely second of it, and imagining a '54 de soto road trip
	🥁 ♥ 4:31pm Mx. Granny (e/em): ike p: if you get lost in there, send up a flare, we'll getcha!
	4:31pm northguineahills: I guess, we won't be getting to stereolab's moogey wonderland?
	♥ 4:31pm Sem: yeah, what coel said.
	♥ 4:32pm Funky16Corners: No, but you will surely hear Stereolab on Testify! in the future
	♥ 4:32pm Funky16Corners: Wait for the chaser...
	♥ 4:32pm Sem: and, where are my manners, hello, Larry and all.
	♥ 4:33pm Funky16Corners: Hey Sem!
	4:33pm ike p: my. granny - i'll take you up on that i absolutely get lost in there, it doesn't take much :) especially once i started to recognize the djs filling in and being filled in for, that one gets me every time
	♥ 4:34pm Doug in JC: Hello Larry! Setting up my new laptop. Thanks for providing a rather appropriate soundtrack
	4:35pm Mark R: I played a 50-minute Ravi Shankar raga once at 5 in the morning.
	♥ 4:35pm StringOFperils: This is really great, thanks for playing the whole thing!!
	4:35pm ike p: hm - now i'm wondering if anyones done a hammond vs moog throw down
	4:35pm still b/p: Pretty sure it was this model, definitely this color, but was showing its age more. And its one of those interesting period things...driving a '98 in 2021 ain't the same as driving a '54 in '77. s3.amazonaws.com...
	4:36pm Erica: About time haha.
	♥ 4:36pm WR: even a market for retro remakes of vintage synths. a few years ago i bought a newly released retro version of a Korg DS-10+ for around $300 I think. Then when searching for online tutorials found that there was also a Nintindo DS version which I got for around $40. pretty much same sound and features from each.
	4:36pm Vincent The Soul Chef: I borrowed a tape of this from the library when I was a kid... original German print, I think. They split the song 20 minutes in and continued it on the other side... And Tubeway Army too? Now you're talikin' :)
	♥ 4:36pm Scott67: Garry!!!!
	♥ 4:36pm Funky16Corners: @String - My pleasure, always!
	♥ 4:36pm coelacanth☯: s b/p nice!
	♥ 4:37pm Doug in JC: I'd love one of those Yamaha Reface keyboards. Some day..
	♥ 4:37pm Funky16Corners: Hey Scot67!
	♥ 4:38pm Phillippe Bastille: Howdy
	♥ 4:38pm Funky16Corners: Phillippe!
	4:38pm βrian: Say, I'm driving a '98 in 2021!
	4:38pm Erica: 1979, the year the "new wave" era began.
	♥ 4:39pm Scott67: G'day Funky1! 😎✌🌏
	4:39pm Mark R: I saw an interview with David Bowie where he said all those early synthesizers came with instruction booklets on how to make them sound like particular instruments by using different settings--horns, guitar, etc. He said he and Eno ignored the instructions and had fun just seeing what weird sounds they could make.
	♥ 4:41pm Phillippe Bastille: One of our FMU regulars wrote a really nice piece re Gary Numan a while back that he shared with us: freq.org.uk...
	♥ 4:41pm coelacanth☯: 95/21 and about to get in it and love the hell outa driving Thanks Larry! later on y'all
	4:42pm still b/p: I salute your willingness to maintain it or loyalty to a model, βrian....but (sobbing) it's just not....the same.
	4:45pm SquigY0: Larry your phone's playing you off stage :D
	♥ 4:45pm StringOFperils: Hah! Invaded by electric sound on the fly....
	♥ 4:46pm Doug in JC: I believe Gary Numan was originally a bass player
	♥ 4:47pm Funky16Corners: Bye C!
	♥ 4:47pm Funky16Corners: @String - The irony is not lost on me!
	♥ 4:47pm Brian in UK: The Clockwork Orange soundtrack is a thing of wonder. He was Walter back then.
	♥ 4:48pm Funky16Corners: She did a couple of Kubrick soundtracks
	4:48pm moog1 radio: I always enjoy to hear Wendy's version of What's New Pussycat from By Request
	♥ 4:49pm Funky16Corners: I wonder what Bach would have thought of this?
	4:50pm SquigY0: intrigued at least
	♥ 4:50pm Brian in UK: I think Bach was cool, just listen to how he makes those notes work for him.
	4:51pm Erica: I know someone who has this Switched on Bach album, not personally of course.
	4:51pm still b/p: Noted the other day that Eno and Bowie didn't even meet until 1976, just before collaborating. That seemed strange to me; would've guessed several years earlier just by mutual awareness of musical directions and performance/presentation affinities, and just cuz they were prominent in the biz.
	♥ 4:52pm Doug in JC: It used to be easy to find in thrift stores for some reason
	♥ 4:52pm Funky16Corners: Switched On Bach was a big success, and now I'm wondering if it was the first to use "switched on" in the title
	♥ 4:52pm Funky16Corners: @SBP - That does seem odd, that Bowie would not have crossed paths with Roxy at some point
	4:53pm moog1 radio: Tomita did a rock and roll covers record under the name Electric Samurai. Really crazy version of Polk Salad Annie on it.
	♥ 4:53pm Funky16Corners: I did not know that! I'll have to look for it.
	4:54pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Oh, and if you haven't, you must hear Kitaro's "Ki" from 1985... pretty mesmerising stuff to say the least. "SilknRoad II" was equally as good.
	♥ 4:54pm Funky16Corners: I do think Debussy would have approved. Clare de Lune is one of my favorite pieces of music and Tomita does it justice
	4:54pm Vincent The Soul Chef: "Silk Road", rather
	♥ 4:55pm Funky16Corners: Does anyone here remember Jack Herkheimer, the Star Hustler?
	4:55pm moog1 radio: Gollywogs Cakewalk on this record is one of my favorite Moog songs
	♥ 4:55pm StringOFperils: Keep looking UP!
	♥ 4:55pm Funky16Corners: He used this album as his soundtrack
	4:56pm moog1 radio: They play this at the end of Oceans 11 right before the David Holmes/Le Orme track
	4:56pm still b/p: Yes. Remember seeing him come on, but never listened to what he was testifying to, astronomically.
	♥ 4:58pm Scott67: Thanks Larry! 😎✌🌏
	♥ 4:58pm Sem: Deep, long ago memories, hearing this music. Thank you, Larry.
	♥ 4:59pm Brian in UK: Hey Scott67, only six hours to the first Test.
	5:00pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Another great show that I'm glad I got to hear live... :)
	♥ 5:00pm Phillippe Bastille: Thanks Larry!
	♥ 5:00pm Scott67: Brian, good luck mate! Caarn India! 👍😉
	♥ 5:00pm StringOFperils: Fascinating! Fun! Electric! Thanks!
	5:01pm still b/p: Nice theme, nice show. Thanks.
	♥ 5:01pm dreamyandseedy: fun show, thank you!
	5:01pm SquigY0: another success in the books! Thanks Larry!
	♥ 5:01pm Funky16Corners: Thank you all!
	5:03pm Erica: Thanks for the show.
	♥ 5:03pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Erica!
	♥ 5:07pm WR: thank you Larry.
	♥ 5:24pm Funky16Corners: Thanks for listening, WR!

	♥ 3:04pm Funky16Corners: Hey Rey!
	♥ 3:05pm Michael 98145: Robot Dance Party!
	♥ 3:06pm Funky16Corners: Michael!
	3:08pm still b/p: In 1969, I'm guessing that Aquarius version struck listeners as less semi-Muzak-y than it feels now.
	🥁 ♥ 3:08pm dutchtheo: Hey Larry, and aquarius kids, life is a gas
	♥ 3:08pm StringOFperils: The Age of Wave Square-ius
	3:08pm Erica: I feel like Keith Emerson is in the room with that moog synth.
	♥ 3:08pm Funky16Corners: The Moog was such novelty at the time, and the sounds it made were new and unfamiliar. Now you can buy somethng that makes noises like that at Target
	3:08pm Erica: I feel like Keith Emerson is in the room with that moog synth.
	♥ 3:08pm Funky16Corners: Hey Theo!
	♥ 3:09pm Funky16Corners: Erica!
	♥ 3:09pm coelacanth☯: Keith Emerson ghost in the Moog machine
	3:10pm SquigY0: what's up moogs and moogettes?
	♥ 3:10pm Funky16Corners: He'll be ghosting us today. No ELP.
	♥ 3:10pm Funky16Corners: SquigY0!
	3:11pm SquigY0: greetings Larry et al
	🥁 ♥ 3:11pm Jeff Ash: Late to the party, but greetings to everyone from Green Bay, where a winter storm approaches.
	♥ 3:11pm Funky16Corners: Hey Jeff!
	3:11pm Erica: The prog rock fans would be disappointed to hear that Larry.
	♥ 3:12pm coelacanth☯: i was dazzled. ~5th-6th grade i did a report on the moog synthesizer. i probably mispronounced the name.
	♥ 3:12pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - That's OK, we took care of them a while back.
	3:15pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Good afternoon everybody... :)
	3:18pm CalZone!: I'm SWITCHED ON , Larry!
	♥ 3:19pm coelacanth☯: seeing Keith Emerson on stage (on tv) with that monstrous pile of gear back in the day used to remind me of a dark "mad" scientist laboratory in an ancient castle
	♥ 3:19pm Funky16Corners: Chef! Cal!
	♥ 3:19pm Funky16Corners: Oddly enough, Emerson;s main axe was the Hammond
	3:20pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Of course this song changed my life... :)
	♥ 3:20pm StringOFperils: Walter Carlos and Isao Tomita. Mad scientist geniuses.
	3:21pm SquigY0: hey Vincent!!
	♥ 3:21pm Funky16Corners: You'll be hearing from both of them later on
	♥ 3:21pm Funky16Corners: @Chef - Pisces Aquarius et al is such a great album!
	♥ 3:21pm coelacanth☯: ...used as a novelty. i read many years ago that here comes the sun on abbey rd was the first recorded (released) song using the synthesizer as a musical instrument. i doubted it, but maybe.
	♥ 3:22pm Funky16Corners: That is incorrect. Almost everything in the first half of this set predates Abbey Road
	♥ 3:22pm coelacanth☯: @319 well he was first a classical musician, and a damned good one
	♥ 3:23pm Funky16Corners: He was great, too. I dig The Nice and ELP, but not really hitting prog rock today.
	♥ 3:23pm coelacanth☯: right, well i hear it in this song. the monkees song doesn't count. that was just novelty sound effect.
	♥ 3:23pm StringOFperils: I think Milton Babbitt was the first electronic music I ever heard.
	♥ 3:24pm StringOFperils: Maybe that was just tape manipulation?
	♥ 3:24pm Funky16Corners: It goes way back before the Moog. That'd be a whole other show
	3:25pm SquigY0: okay these notes have my dogs super confused :D
	3:25pm Vincent The Soul Chef: I had a copy of Dick Hyman's "The Minotaur" when I was five years old... it was so fascinating...
	♥ 3:25pm Funky16Corners: I think tape manipulaton counts
	3:25pm CalZone!: Brotherhood track was great. New to me!
	♥ 3:26pm Funky16Corners: That's a GREAT album. Three ex-Raiders
	♥ 3:26pm Brian in UK: Not on the original release, though the Byrds always had so much variety on their albums.
	♥ 3:26pm Funky16Corners: Drake, Smitty and Fang! www.discogs.com...
	♥ 3:27pm Funky16Corners: @Brian - Not even really The Byrds. Credited to McGuinn, but it's Paul Beaver playing the MOOG
	3:28pm moog1 Radio: Just got here! what i miss?
	♥ 3:28pm Funky16Corners: Hey Kurt!
	3:29pm moog1 Radio: Love the Renzetti!!! He does the NFL Films music
	♥ 3:30pm Funky16Corners: Super-talented guy!
	3:31pm CalZone!: I'm driving through a car wash now, and this is a perfect soundtrack!
	♥ 3:31pm Brian in UK: I may be a moonchild but the windows are staying closed until at least mid March!
	♥ 3:31pm Funky16Corners: DON'T FREAK OUT MAN!!!
	3:31pm SquigY0: hahah that's trippy
	3:31pm moog1 Radio: Paul Beaver is the Moog guy for the Monkees Daily Nightly. He also did moog for Emil Richards around the same time
	3:31pm Erica: Rock and Roll meets moog and spoken word.
	♥ 3:32pm Funky16Corners: This is a wild album! Beaver is the Moog guy on this, too!
	3:32pm CalZone!: KURT Mooooooooooooo0000000000000000OOOOOOOOOOOOGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!
	♥ 3:34pm Brian in UK: Beaver & Krause's All Good Men is a favourite in this house. Not so much Moog.
	♥ 3:35pm Funky16Corners: This show is best listened to on giant speakers, or on headphones with the volume WAY up
	♥ 3:35pm Funky16Corners: @Brian - Krauee moved on to environmental recording. They did some of that as a duo (like 'People's Park')
	♥ 3:36pm Funky16Corners: BTW next one is a killer...
	♥ 3:36pm dreamyandseedy: really jealous of Calzone right now
	3:36pm moog1 radio: I have obtained 3 copies of this LP through record shows in chicago and milwaukee
	♥ 3:36pm Funky16Corners: Hey Dreamy!
	♥ 3:37pm Funky16Corners: @Kurt - which one? Electronicus?
	3:37pm moog1 radio: The Mort but I have 2 copies of this Hyman
	♥ 3:37pm StringOFperils: Ooo yeah, this is MUCH better on nice headphones.
	♥ 3:37pm Funky16Corners: I've actually DJ'd this in funk sets
	3:37pm moog1 radio: and I have it on Reel
	♥ 3:37pm Funky16Corners: I never made the leap to reel-to-reel
	3:38pm moog1 radio: They added this track on the official Varese Sarabande CD reissue of Moog Ecclectic Electronics of Dick Hyman as a bonus track
	♥ 3:39pm Funky16Corners: Speaking of...
	3:39pm moog1 radio: That CD reissue sent me down a long and weird path
	3:40pm moog1 radio: This track charted in the WLS Top 40 singles chart in June 1969
	♥ 3:40pm Funky16Corners: I wish I'd had this record back in the olden days when I was a fan of chemical manipulation of the senses...
	♥ 3:40pm Funky16Corners: @Kurt - There's a 45 edit of this, right?
	♥ 3:41pm Funky16Corners: I'll bet Keith Emerson had copy of this record.
	3:41pm Vincent The Soul Chef: The 45 runs 7 minutes...
	♥ 3:41pm StringOFperils: No kidding...that Lucky Man outro...
	3:42pm moog1 radio: Yes there is but I have never located it. It is the flip of the 7 minute version and on a white label
	♥ 3:42pm Funky16Corners: Anyone who ever saw Dick Hyman play live raise their hand! (Raises hand...)
	3:43pm Erica: Wooah wooah. The Lucky Man outro was sung by Homer Simpson.
	3:44pm Vincent The Soul Chef: I wish, Larry... although I really want more like that Respect 45.
	3:45pm moog1 radio: My yellow lab is going bonkers!!
	♥ 3:45pm Funky16Corners: I wish you could post that here!
	3:45pm Vincent The Soul Chef: I guess he didn't play any on the Hammond when you saw him...
	♥ 3:46pm Funky16Corners: @Vincent - Hyman wasn't doing stuff like this. Straight jazz, but he was playing with drummer Bobby Rosengarden, who layed the drums on that take of Give It Up of Turn It Loose
	3:46pm moog1 radio: Do you have Hyman's non LP 45 Strobo?
	♥ 3:46pm Funky16Corners: PLAYED the drums...
	♥ 3:46pm Funky16Corners: I do not have that 45.
	3:47pm moog1 radio: b/w Lay Lady Lay
	♥ 3:47pm StringOFperils: Well, this is 'give the drummer some'
	3:48pm moog1 radio: Otis Fodder found another non LP Hyman Moog track on an obscure compilation
	♥ 3:50pm Funky16Corners: Any idea what it was?
	3:51pm moog1 radio: I'm looking through some of his old playlists and cant find it
	3:51pm moog1 radio: He was guesting on another program when he told the story
	♥ 3:52pm Funky16Corners: BTW these tracks from Gandharva were recorded in Grace Cathedral in San Francisco. That's the natural reverb of a huge stone building!
	♥ 3:52pm coelacanth☯: even when i was little, and dazzled by the moog, i Hated that lucky man outro! talk about killing a mood...
	♥ 3:53pm StringOFperils: I'm sure Otis would be excited to tell you. He's enthusiastic. He's an email away.
	3:54pm moog1 radio: He'd love this set
	♥ 4:04pm coelacanth☯: "synapses"?
	♥ 4:05pm StringOFperils: auditory-tactile synesthesia?
	♥ 4:06pm Funky16Corners: That sounds about right
	4:06pm Erica: I feel looooooovvveee.
	4:06pm moog1 radio: Giorgio!
	4:06pm ike p: greetings and thanks for an awesome show - i'm glad i grabbed headphones when i did :)
	♥ 4:07pm Funky16Corners: I remember being hypnotized by this on the radio as a kid
	4:07pm Vincent The Soul Chef: THEE godmother of techno is singing this song <3
	4:07pm moog1 radio: Lots of Moog on his Son of My Father record
	♥ 4:07pm Funky16Corners: Hey Ike!
	4:07pm Erica: Loooooooooove.
	4:08pm ike p: my earholes are full
	♥ 4:08pm Funky16Corners: The story is that when Brian Eno heard this record he proclaimed it the future of dance music for the next 15 years
	♥ 4:08pm Funky16Corners: He wasn't kidding
	♥ 4:08pm StringOFperils: The REVOLVER of techno.
	4:08pm CalZone!: Great headphone music! Also probably a great carwash song! Should I go through again?
	♥ 4:09pm StringOFperils: Sprung fully formed from the forehead of Zeus.
	♥ 4:09pm Funky16Corners: I was reading today that the kick drum is real on this, played on an actual drum
	♥ 4:09pm Funky16Corners: @Cal - Go drive through some mud and go back in
	4:09pm moog1 radio: Be thankful it isnt love to love you baby or that car wash would stretch to Buffalo
	4:10pm ike p: by gawd - that one arhythmic beat is just crazy math going on
	♥ 4:10pm Funky16Corners: That'll dirty up the car...
	4:10pm CalZone!: HAHA Moog!
	♥ 4:10pm coelacanth☯: it's kind of a mindfuck, the synthesizer program not being in time with the drum machine
	4:10pm moog1 radio: Won't a car wash short out your eclectic electric car?
	♥ 4:11pm Funky16Corners: Can you imagine hearing this on a big, club sound system?
	♥ 4:11pm StringOFperils: Dry shampoo.
	🥁 ♥ 4:11pm Mx. Granny (e/em): ok, i got here at a good moment! hello, Larry and folx!
	♥ 4:12pm Funky16Corners: Granny!
	4:12pm ike p: coelacanth - thank you that makes much more sense :)
	♥ 4:12pm coelacanth☯: Larry @409 that's believable. i think there're 3 different beats going on right now
	🥁 ♥ 4:13pm Mx. Granny (e/em): that mischievous Moroder!
	4:13pm Erica: I noticed that too Coel. The timing is off.
	♥ 4:13pm StringOFperils: I first heard this on a big sound system in a bar with a live DJ booth when it came out....and begrudgingly realized that I liked it...and whatever that thing called disco was wasn't what I was hearing
	4:13pm ike p: of course that's not how it went in qa at all
	4:14pm northguineahills: I had a friend who was in the Bob Moog doc. She knew him well enough he made a custom-built theremin just for her (she was a professional theremin player).
	♥ 4:14pm coelacanth☯: i have heard this on big, club sound systems. a bunch of times. i was not appreciative of it then, unfortunately
	♥ 4:15pm Funky16Corners: Hey NGH!
	4:15pm moog1 radio: I got this on my Jukebox! The 45 version of course, but there is also a radio promo edit version out there
	♥ 4:16pm Funky16Corners: Another record that charted Top 40!
	4:16pm northguineahills: I've heard it on large club soundsystems many times (but I had friend who was a disco dj in the 2000s-2010s)
	4:16pm Erica: Kraftwork for the win.
	♥ 4:17pm WR: hi Larry and all. have been connected since the Tommy / Sparks selection but was in and out of work calls until your back announce before Donna Summer. Very interesting that at least one of the tracks, i think one of the Beaver & Krause tracks made me think i was hearing a Keith Emerson song i had forgotten. on lunch break now so can listen more attentively.
	♥ 4:17pm Funky16Corners: There's something special about he physicality of volume with a record that has a great beat.
	♥ 4:17pm coelacanth☯: ^what Erica said
	♥ 4:17pm Funky16Corners: Hey WR!
	♥ 4:17pm Funky16Corners: I think it might have been 'The Minotaur' by Dick Hyman. Very Emerson-esque
	♥ 4:19pm coelacanth☯: i think it was. i was in the kithen and the music was a little too low until that one goofy moog siren came busting through!
	4:19pm northguineahills: This was the first Kraftwerk album I got (in '94)
	♥ 4:22pm Funky16Corners: Kraftwerk were masters.
	4:23pm Erica: Ahead of their time indeed Larry.
	🥁 ♥ 4:23pm Mx. Granny (e/em): i HAVE actually performed this at karaoke! LOL!
	♥ 4:23pm Doug in JC: Mx. Granny That is hilarious
	♥ 4:23pm Funky16Corners: This may be the prefect karaoke song, if, like me, you have a hard time remembering lyrics
	♥ 4:23pm doctorjazz: Hi Funky one!
	4:23pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Why they are STILL not in the rock and roll hall of fame absolutely boggles my mind...
	♥ 4:24pm WR: thanks Larry, you're probably right, will relisten later. I learned of Beaver & Krause when " All Good Men " came out and quickly got the previous two on WB Rec. and the one on Limelight. Like them all very much but "All Good Men " made the most impression on me. Don't know if is the compositions that does it for me or if it was being the first one.
	♥ 4:25pm Funky16Corners: It's funny, but for many years I only knew their names because Gandharva was in a couple of books of album cover art that I had.
	♥ 4:25pm Funky16Corners: Then a friend made me a copy of Gandharva and it blew me away
	4:26pm still b/p: I've wondered about trying to recreate it acapella with a few people. It's a few years since I mentioned this in comments, so maybe it can be recalled again: A forever association with listening to Autobahn is while driving midwest highways in a friend's '54 DeSoto in late 70s. Friend and former coworker has an early generation Mini-Moog. Don't think it's plugged in very often...if ever.
	♥ 4:27pm Funky16Corners: There's quite a market for vintage synths
	♥ 4:28pm Funky16Corners: Isn't it nice being on freeform radio where you can play a 21 minute track every once in a while?
	♥ 4:28pm Funky16Corners: STILL not the longest track I've ever played on Testify!
	♥ 4:29pm Funky16Corners: An I played it on the prog raock special I did a ways back...
	♥ 4:29pm Funky16Corners: Echoes, by Pink Floyd
	♥ 4:29pm Doug in JC: I like this song but it really feels as long as it is
	4:29pm ike p: so glad i found this station! looks like i'm off to the archives...
	4:29pm SquigY0: wow it IS still going! :D
	♥ 4:30pm Funky16Corners: Oh yeah, you really get your 21 minutes worth. You can go make a snack, eat it, fold the wash, and come back for the end
	🥁 ♥ 4:30pm Mx. Granny (e/em): i've never performed 4'33 as a karaoke song, but i was in a band that did a version
	♥ 4:30pm Funky16Corners: And hey Doug!
	♥ 4:30pm coelacanth☯: i'm loving every lovely second of it, and imagining a '54 de soto road trip
	🥁 ♥ 4:31pm Mx. Granny (e/em): ike p: if you get lost in there, send up a flare, we'll getcha!
	4:31pm northguineahills: I guess, we won't be getting to stereolab's moogey wonderland?
	♥ 4:31pm Sem: yeah, what coel said.
	♥ 4:32pm Funky16Corners: No, but you will surely hear Stereolab on Testify! in the future
	♥ 4:32pm Funky16Corners: Wait for the chaser...
	♥ 4:32pm Sem: and, where are my manners, hello, Larry and all.
	♥ 4:33pm Funky16Corners: Hey Sem!
	4:33pm ike p: my. granny - i'll take you up on that i absolutely get lost in there, it doesn't take much :) especially once i started to recognize the djs filling in and being filled in for, that one gets me every time
	♥ 4:34pm Doug in JC: Hello Larry! Setting up my new laptop. Thanks for providing a rather appropriate soundtrack
	4:35pm Mark R: I played a 50-minute Ravi Shankar raga once at 5 in the morning.
	♥ 4:35pm StringOFperils: This is really great, thanks for playing the whole thing!!
	4:35pm ike p: hm - now i'm wondering if anyones done a hammond vs moog throw down
	4:35pm still b/p: Pretty sure it was this model, definitely this color, but was showing its age more. And its one of those interesting period things...driving a '98 in 2021 ain't the same as driving a '54 in '77. s3.amazonaws.com...
	4:36pm Erica: About time haha.
	♥ 4:36pm WR: even a market for retro remakes of vintage synths. a few years ago i bought a newly released retro version of a Korg DS-10+ for around $300 I think. Then when searching for online tutorials found that there was also a Nintindo DS version which I got for around $40. pretty much same sound and features from each.
	4:36pm Vincent The Soul Chef: I borrowed a tape of this from the library when I was a kid... original German print, I think. They split the song 20 minutes in and continued it on the other side... And Tubeway Army too? Now you're talikin' :)
	♥ 4:36pm Scott67: Garry!!!!
	♥ 4:36pm Funky16Corners: @String - My pleasure, always!
	♥ 4:36pm coelacanth☯: s b/p nice!
	♥ 4:37pm Doug in JC: I'd love one of those Yamaha Reface keyboards. Some day..
	♥ 4:37pm Funky16Corners: Hey Scot67!
	♥ 4:38pm Phillippe Bastille: Howdy
	♥ 4:38pm Funky16Corners: Phillippe!
	4:38pm βrian: Say, I'm driving a '98 in 2021!
	4:38pm Erica: 1979, the year the "new wave" era began.
	♥ 4:39pm Scott67: G'day Funky1! 😎✌🌏
	4:39pm Mark R: I saw an interview with David Bowie where he said all those early synthesizers came with instruction booklets on how to make them sound like particular instruments by using different settings--horns, guitar, etc. He said he and Eno ignored the instructions and had fun just seeing what weird sounds they could make.
	♥ 4:41pm Phillippe Bastille: One of our FMU regulars wrote a really nice piece re Gary Numan a while back that he shared with us: freq.org.uk...
	♥ 4:41pm coelacanth☯: 95/21 and about to get in it and love the hell outa driving Thanks Larry! later on y'all
	4:42pm still b/p: I salute your willingness to maintain it or loyalty to a model, βrian....but (sobbing) it's just not....the same.
	4:45pm SquigY0: Larry your phone's playing you off stage :D
	♥ 4:45pm StringOFperils: Hah! Invaded by electric sound on the fly....
	♥ 4:46pm Doug in JC: I believe Gary Numan was originally a bass player
	♥ 4:47pm Funky16Corners: Bye C!
	♥ 4:47pm Funky16Corners: @String - The irony is not lost on me!
	♥ 4:47pm Brian in UK: The Clockwork Orange soundtrack is a thing of wonder. He was Walter back then.
	♥ 4:48pm Funky16Corners: She did a couple of Kubrick soundtracks
	4:48pm moog1 radio: I always enjoy to hear Wendy's version of What's New Pussycat from By Request
	♥ 4:49pm Funky16Corners: I wonder what Bach would have thought of this?
	4:50pm SquigY0: intrigued at least
	♥ 4:50pm Brian in UK: I think Bach was cool, just listen to how he makes those notes work for him.
	4:51pm Erica: I know someone who has this Switched on Bach album, not personally of course.
	4:51pm still b/p: Noted the other day that Eno and Bowie didn't even meet until 1976, just before collaborating. That seemed strange to me; would've guessed several years earlier just by mutual awareness of musical directions and performance/presentation affinities, and just cuz they were prominent in the biz.
	♥ 4:52pm Doug in JC: It used to be easy to find in thrift stores for some reason
	♥ 4:52pm Funky16Corners: Switched On Bach was a big success, and now I'm wondering if it was the first to use "switched on" in the title
	♥ 4:52pm Funky16Corners: @SBP - That does seem odd, that Bowie would not have crossed paths with Roxy at some point
	4:53pm moog1 radio: Tomita did a rock and roll covers record under the name Electric Samurai. Really crazy version of Polk Salad Annie on it.
	♥ 4:53pm Funky16Corners: I did not know that! I'll have to look for it.
	4:54pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Oh, and if you haven't, you must hear Kitaro's "Ki" from 1985... pretty mesmerising stuff to say the least. "SilknRoad II" was equally as good.
	♥ 4:54pm Funky16Corners: I do think Debussy would have approved. Clare de Lune is one of my favorite pieces of music and Tomita does it justice
	4:54pm Vincent The Soul Chef: "Silk Road", rather
	♥ 4:55pm Funky16Corners: Does anyone here remember Jack Herkheimer, the Star Hustler?
	4:55pm moog1 radio: Gollywogs Cakewalk on this record is one of my favorite Moog songs
	♥ 4:55pm StringOFperils: Keep looking UP!
	♥ 4:55pm Funky16Corners: He used this album as his soundtrack
	4:56pm moog1 radio: They play this at the end of Oceans 11 right before the David Holmes/Le Orme track
	4:56pm still b/p: Yes. Remember seeing him come on, but never listened to what he was testifying to, astronomically.
	♥ 4:58pm Scott67: Thanks Larry! 😎✌🌏
	♥ 4:58pm Sem: Deep, long ago memories, hearing this music. Thank you, Larry.
