This is hilarious but just a little weird... The good people at GMedia (who brought us M-Tron, ImpOscar, Oddity etc) have produced a Top Trumps card set featuring vintage synths ahh imagine the happy evenings sitting in front of the fire lording it over your mates as you discover that your arp 2600's filters beat the living sh*t out of those crappy ones on your mate's poxy, cheap Italian knock-off
This is Vintage Synth Trumps, a deadly serious card game for vintage synth enthusiasts featuring 52 classic instruments. Test your knowledge and settle those arguments once and for all with the synth-spotter's equivalent Can you use your skill and judgment to win the whole pack from your opponents and become the undisputed champion of vintage synth wisdom? Playing is easy. Simply divide the cards between the number of players before taking it in turns to read aloud a statistic from your card. For example, "Korg PS3300 - Collectability = 5 out of 5". Everyone then compares the card on the top of their hand and the highest scoring instrument in that category wins that round. The person who gains all the cards wins. |

Name everything in this pic except the Mini-Moog (too easy). If you can't see it clearly, don't worry about it.

The third book from the left on the second shelf from the top is "Poetry and Paradox- The Collected Works of Carrot Top", 1998, St. Hubbins Press, 4th Edition. And that's a Nord Modular on the shelf at the bottom underneath it. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/sollipsist/?chartstyle=kaonashi">

quick tip: if it's bright red, it's a Nord...if it's orange or yellow, probably a Waldorf...and if it's a deep rich electric blue, Novation is a good guess. And if it's in the corner, covered in dust and dented by annoyed kicks, it's probably a DX7. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/sollipsist/?chartstyle=kaonashi">
