Im just begining to get which sound is which type of keyboard...and I must say that the Moog and the Mellotron are my favorites...they sound somehow quite dark...

But still i have some questions, which keyboard does Patrick Moraz uses in Gates of Delirium? Or does he use a lot of different?

And the key solo from Genesis in the Cage...is that a Moog?

Moraz used many different Moog's on 'The gates of delirium', infact many different keyboards, in the first 22 bars there are 12 different changes of keyboard. The Moog for most of the song is a 'MultiMoog', you can clearly see him solo on it during the song on the QPR May 75 show. He also utlizes the Hammond organ, Mellotron and Fender Rhodes alot in the song.

As for Tony Banks, well he was never much of a Moog user until 'And then there were three' in 1978 when he got his Polymoog, that pretty much replaced the Mellotron for string sounds on that album, though he did cart the Mellotron out for that tour for the last time. With 'In the Cage' he used an Arp synthesizer, likely a 'Pro soloist'. The Arp 2600 was used in the studio as late as 1978, so its a possbility that it is a Arp2600, but I am fairly sure it is a 'Pro soloist'. Live, after 1978 he used an Arp Quadra almost totally for all the synth solos up until the 'Invisble touch' tour, you can still clearly see his Arp Quadra in those videos as well as the 'Three sides live' video.

     Moraz had a different string machine than the
Mellotron, called the Orchestron. It has a different
sound, a little fatter and brighter.

Well Bob Moog was impressed by KE's Lucky Man solo even if some progarchivers here aren't

My favourites:

Lucky Man - ELP

Aquatarkus(Live) -ELP (f**king amazing!)

Trilogy (last section) - ELP

 

Alsorans:

ColosseumII - The Scorch

Starship Trooper - Rick Wakeman

Nice n Sleazy - The Stranglers

Good example of moog is also  Black Sabbath "Laguna sunrise" and "Changes"

Nice moog is on ELP's "Tarkus"

That might have been a Moog on Laguna Sunrise, but on the tour to support that album there was an ARP 2600 onstage.

Emerson & Wakeman were Moog guys - as previously mentioned, Tony Banks was ARP & Ensoniq.

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

..with great pleasure!


I'll bring the rope!
Lucky Man is a decent song, considering Lake wrote it when he was 15 or something, and Emerson's solo is absolutely brilliant!

Yeah, and I think David Palmer uses the Orchestron to replace the strings on Songs From the Wood.
I personally think that is a horrid instrument (at least on Songs From the Wood)!

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

I hated tftto up untill someone told me about this solo now it is my favourite yes album

if you want the moog listen to any of wakeman's solo albums up untill 1979 any album after that he still use it but does not changes sounds as much and the mix of the moog is not as loud

Where Can I Get A Moog biscuit?

Great solo, and if you want to see a great improv Mini Moog solo by RW, try "South Side of the Sky" on the Yes "Songs from Tsongas" 35th Anniversary DVD, where he duels with Howe.
Another great moog player is Jan Hammer...
