Just found the link at the VintageSynth forum.
Good to see a lengthy footage that wasn´t deleted due to copyright infringements.
That sequence is trippy.

Enjoy, KS and Moog fans.

Nice.

Many thanks for posting that link.

ARP and EMS spotting, too. The close-ups were great.

BTW does anyone know who bought KS's Moog Modular when he sold it a couple of years back?

Holy Crap!!!

One of the cooler synth things that I have seen on You Tube.

That was autumn 2005. Not that long ago.
I know the name. And its of cause not me.
But the the new owner likes to stay unknown.
And its not in the USA, nor in Germany.
And it received some major restorations.
I received this information because someone thought I should know what happened to Klaus Schulze's Moog due to my page about this Moog:

absolutely amazing video

im just having buttloads of fun trying to figure out what gear he has in that pile of stuff.

I also love that hippy-esque bearskin rug hes got going there.

is he playing a multimoog?

Till, thanks for the info. I was especially curious because for one fleeting moment I wondered about doing something drastic with my mortgage so I could buy it - which really would have been crazy.

I'm glad the new owner has had work done on it - it sounds like it's being well looked after.

No, it's a Micromoog.
Just count the number of keys:
- the Micromoog got a keyrange from F to C with 32 keys
- while the bigger Multimoog is ranging F to C with 44 keys

is a snapshot at 2:09 of the YouTube video file.

And if you look at both little brothers of the Mini here:

you will notice the white switches on the very left are not visible at all. So it is a Micromoog for sure.

I love vintage gear spotting

I see a Mini, a Micro, a Poly, an EMS and a white-face Odyssey. Not to mention the ginormous modular.

Is this one of the dudes from Tangerine Dream? Or Kraftwerk? I'm sure I heard of him somewhere....

That was wicked!

Hello Jauntimus,

he became famous as a solo artist in Europe at the very same time as TD in the very early seventies. He was also once in the very late sixties the drummer of the pre EM TD.
Klaus Schulze's approch to EM was different from Tangerine Dream's way of doing it. He was more modern classic like in the beginning. His music is more emotional to me and some other fans then all the TD music. And he did some superb abstract tracks that would be considered Ambient nowadays. His typical track length in the seventies was a full 30 min LP side just like TD.
Some people that like TD's music love Schulze's work, others not. And finding a woman liking his music is more difficult then finding a female TD fan.

He was aslo shown on Moog leaflets in the late seventies:

(KS is the one in the lower right corner)

And yes, I am a big fan of his mid seventies to mid eighties work.

Cool poster Till. Wish I had one to frame in my little home studio.

OK, I already recognized Klaus, and EMO and Wakeman. Who are the others? I have my suspicions on a couple, but have no clue on the others.....

I spotted Tony Bank and the guitar player of ABBA. But I might be wrong.

Sweep · Post by **Sweep** » Tue Feb 20, 2007 5:50 am

Yes, I'm pretty sure that's Tony Banks on the left. No guitarist from Abba, though (though Benny, the keyboard player, got into playing Moog synths very early after hearing Switched on Bach).

Is the guy on the right of Rick Wakeman Jon Lord? And the one at the top Patrick Moraz? Maybe? I could be wrong on both counts.

I'm curious about the one with the beard above Tony Banks. He reminds me of Jean-Philippe Rykiel, but I don't think he is.

My guesses for the top guys are a young Vangelis and Nicky Hopkins.
Could be wrong though.
