Bands that Use Moog

[Just Me]

Medusal Obligation (shameless plug) uses Voyager and too many Foogers.
I haven't read the ENTIRE thread so I'll add
King Crimson
Tonto's Expanding head band
Gershon Kingsley (You know, they guy who wrote Popcorn.) He had a Moog quartet of modulars!
JMJ
Tim Blake
The Camarata Contemporary Chamber Orchestra
Flight
Wally Badarou
Steve Hillage
Lucifer/Mort Garson
CPIC (Sear Electronic Music Productions,Inc)

You should look up some Wally Badarou and Mort Garson stuff. Pretty tasty.

I have before me two obscure LPs: "Moog Plays the Beatles" by Marty Gold (AvcoEmbassy AVE33003) and "The Age of Electronicus" by Dick Hyman (ABC-Command stereo 946-S). Both have several Moog Modular pictures. Programming for both albums was by Walter Sear. For the ARP 2600 lovers (oops), I have Joseph Byrd's "A Christmas Yet to Come."

I listened to Wally Badarou's music recently. Voices, Keys, Mambo, Hi life, Canyon, Endless race. I found the music very original and entertaining, with light arrangements, they add notes only when they should, the right stuff! I brought the cds to my car and I am very pleased with the music. Thanks for the suggestion. I will look into Mort Garson stuff now.

Some things I've seen on various television shows recently:

Heart-Voyager
Black Eyed Peas-Phatty
Ceelo Green-Voyager
Robert Plant- Model D
White Stripes- Phatty



I think alot of the more modern bands, I see more Phatties than Voyagers.

Mart Garson's music - ecleticist fresco of delightful phrasing and sound effects, featuring lots of Moog. Made me revisit psychedelia. I am eager to learn more about this intriguing character.

more bands:

Franz Ferdinand
The Doors (Strange Days)

Jean Michel Jarre!

Jean Michel Jarre!

More interestingly imho, Maurice Jarre (although initially he considered the synth as just another orquestra timbre).

Vangelis Papathanassiou...

Morcheeba

I could not find the name of the keyboard player, but in Cyndi Lauper's band All through the night (Live in Paris, 1987) there is a memorable MemoryMoog solo.
Although it is a curtis-based machine, it still retained some of the moogyness in its sound. There are other synths around the stage (DX7, Roland). Moog polyphonic strength was also its weakness sometimes: it speaks above everything else. Hard to mix with voice, even with some syrup on its settings.

I do not know the name of the performer either, I just know that the portamento patch was originally played by Peter Wood.

PHISH is great!

Man, don't even mention Coldplay! They use a voyager solely as a midi controller (at least when it comes to live performance)! It's disgraceful! (I don't mind a bit of Coldplay from time to time though).
