 Topic: Your favourite Minimoog solo?Posted: July 10 2010 at 13:51 |

Hi everyone!
 There's some threads about favourite Mellotron parts but, as I am in a Minimoog mood, I'm wondering which are your favourite Minimoog moments? I'm curious to know  (sorry if this topic already exists, I didn't find it with the search form) |

Great topic. Have to give it some thought.

'The Revealing Science of God' has a mind-blowing Moog solo by Rick Wakeman after(or before?) Steve Howe's guitar solo. 'Stratus' by Billy Cobham has a splendid groovy Moog solo by the great Jan Hammer.
I'll think of more later...
By the way, it's pretty difficult to know which is a Moog and which is another synth don't you think? Nearly all of the modern Prog bands don't even use those synths, but they play synths that sound exactly like them. Edited by The Quiet One - July 10 2010 at 19:19 |

I'm not 100% sure, but is that not an ARP that he plays?

Yes, it might be, Tony Banks used the ARP more often rather than the Moog as far as I'm concerned.
My mistake.

Yeah:
"The first synthesiser to be used by Genesis was the monophonic ARP Pro Soloist, which Banks first acquired in 1973"

Hey, no problem, sooner or later someone else would have pointed it out.

Yep, I think Tony Banks never used a Minimoog ;)
I admit it's not that easy for modern bands but for 70's bands, there's already a lot to say ;) Neal Morse uses a lot of Minimoog sounds (on Transatlantic making of dvd, he explained he uses the new Minimoog model and also a Minimoog software). Minimoog sound is really specific, what is better than a beautiful Minimoog solo on some Mellotron layers  |

ELP - Tarkus (live) .Specifically the Aquatarkus section has a brilliant moog passage.Emerson works some magic there! Also
ELP - From The Beginning (beautifull)
ELP - The Endless Enigma Part 2 (superb intro)
( looking at the credits to the Trilogy album Emerson was using the full blown Moog as well as the Mini Moog Model D so it can be difficult to seperate them but I think the above are all mini-moog)

Oops. Doesn't qualify as a solo. Withdrawn.

I'd have to agree! The more I listen to it, the better it is - he also got a really original sound out of it, I don't know how, it almost sounds like it's going through a talk-box or something - but he's probably just sweeping a filter with the other hand as he plays - however he does it, it's badass! |

Minimoog needs more love! ;)
I add "Starship Trooper" solo on Yessongs by Rick Wakeman of course :) |

I don't know if it's a Moog, but I think it is. Camel's "Nimrodel" has my favorite keyboard solo ever.

Rick Wakeman isn't much of an organ user, making his PHENOMENAL Close to the Edge solo on the hammond a bit out-of-place.
Had this solo been played on a moog I'm sure he would have been given a Nobel Prize or something!  |

Jan Hammer (Mahavishnu Orchestra) - "Sister Andrea". Any version studio, "Lost Trident Sessions" or live, "Between Nothingness & Eternity". Or even this version from YouTube:
