Robert Moog – Although similar Buchla and Synket synthesisers were invented at more or less the same time, it was Robert Moog’s 1964 invention that set the world alight. His first model used a keyboard to replicate and distort electronic sounds, however, it wasn’t until the mid-seventies that the Moog Synthesiser became the staple of the likes of Pink Floyd and Genesis’ art.

Hmmm, no Daft Punk mentioned? Or my personal favorite, Underworld? (Well, I don’t mind Underworld not being mentioned but Daft Punk is pretty big, isn’t it?) Well, nice collection anyways, great history lesson :D

Yep, I admit there are some omissions, but we could have gone on forever. Some perhaps that should have been included: Radiohead for Kid A, LCD Soundsystem etc etc...

Well I never knew Theremin was named after someone, I always thought it was some foreign technical word. But then I always thought Moogs were called that cos they go ’moooooooooog’.
