Rating: Summary: Fascinating insights into a ground-breaking musical movement Review: Totally recommended. Apart from a little slide into sociological theory towards the end, this is a thoroughly entertaining, authoritative and enthralling look at the world of early synthesizers. My favourite moment is the story of Bob Moog's first major sale of a modular synthesizer. He had to get it to New York City from Buffalo, and in those days, there was one sensible, cost-effective solution: he took the bus. The synthesizer seemed to survive the trip, too.Lovely book.. If you are interested in synthesizers or the histroy of electronic music, BUY IT!!
