Book Reviews of Analog Days: The Invention and Impact of the Moog Synthesizer
Book Review: A Good History of the Moog Synthesizer
Summary: 4 Stars
As an unsatisfiable 'gear head,' the thing I thought was lacking was a greater examination of the modular Moog itself, and especially a detailed analysis of some of the more esoteric/custom modules that Moog made for various customers. After all, this was THE machine that set the engineering standards for years, almost decades to come. (Case in point, Moog's 902 Voltage-Controlled Amplifier was developed in the early '60s, and yet is still almost CD audio quality some 40 years later!) At least give us some loving closeups of Keith Emerson's 'Monster Moog!'
The interviews make up for the lack of photos, especially with the lesser-known lights who helped blaze the trail but are largely forgotten today.
