Could get interesting!

Anybody but me who'd like to see a documentary about "the Putney", the
brit-synth above all (and of Del Detmar-fame)?
Anyways, here's recommended bed-reading:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0674008898/qid=1108125144/sr=8-1/ref=pd_bbs_1/103-4205510-3640661?v=glance&s=books&n=507846
The story about the Moog - but not limited to: Much trivia about the
early rival synth manufacturers and the various subcultures they were
implemented into (or started). Lots of priceless stories, including one
about Sun Ra being exstatic about his "broken"Minimoog - heavy
malfunction made sounds he'd only ever dreamt about...
Interesting reading!
