Maybe you have heard the "Yessongs" version. Here Mr. WAKEMAN played a wonderful synthesizer solo on the "Wurm" section. ( ENTIRE SONG LENGHT : 9:25)
But in "Keys to Ascension", "Starship Trooper" has a duet of solos by HOWE & WAKEMAN in the "Wurm" section very very nice. ( ENTIRE SONG LENGHT : 13:05).

One of my favourite moog solo is on the "THE REVEALING SCIENCE OF GOD" track by the great WAKEMAN.

Gonna have to agree with TP on that one, go ahead and hang me as well......

..with great pleasure! |
It just seems so inappropriate on that song. It's a passable (well no,
quite poor, really) ballad that suddenly gets mauled at the end by the
weaving mess of a solo. Eugh.

I've not heard his work with Blackfoot as yet, but I've heard most of Ken's other work- even his stint with WASP on 'The Headless Children'...

I must mention one of my keyboard heroes here- Ken Hensley. He took to the Moog like a duck to water in my opinion- he played an outrageously good solo on the 'Live '73' version of 'Gypsy' and also on songs like 'Devil's Daughter' and 'Beautiful Dream'.

what did you think of his move to Blackfoot? i've been a heep fan for 30 years or so - just wondered what you thought

Funny that Jon Lord's moog on Deep Purple was mentioned; I think if there was one keyboard player that should have stuck to the Hammond organ it was Lord; I find his Moog playing just average- 'A 200' is pure filler, and his solo on the California Jam version of 'Space Truckin' is unbelievably bad as it's like he was learning how to play it there and then.

I think 'Lucky Man' is an amazing solo, and Keith Emerson didn't even like it! However, it was one of the first and remains one of the best to me.

I think they are specially made to have that signature sound. Most songs with Rick Wakeman in them by Yes will have a good Moog solo. Lonesome Electric Turkey by Zappa is basically one big Moog Jam. Dream Theater recently used one on Octavarium. Are they sampled like Mellotrons are?

Do u create your own Moog solos in that 70.s style?
Floyd used it on some track.....title escapes me...ive heard it throughout prog genre...i want to try to understand how that "feel" /technique is achieved .the only example that comes to mind at the moment is Deep Purple's "A" 2000 track from the "Burn" album...sounds quite funky actually
