Given the sad news of Robert Moog's demise, and at risk of doing
something that may have been done before, it started me thinking;
what's your favourite Moog solo ? I'd give equal ranking to
Wakeman's solo toward the end of "The Revealing Science of God" on
side/track 1 of Tales from Topographic Oceans; and Keith Emerson's live
rendition of "Aquatarkus" on "Welcome back My Friends..." Got to be a Moog mind, not just any old synth.... |

The Cinema Show...about half way through the second part of it...Tony Banks works sheer magic on it. ------------- I'm so prog, I clap in 9/8 |

The Moogsolo on TRSOG is Wakeman's longest and best one in Yes I think. His other soli (on studio albums anyway) are usually too short to be called a solo. His solo part on Yessongs (Six Wives) contains some nice soloing also. Mark Kelly has a few nice moogsoli as well on Script For A Jester's Tear, like The Web. |

true, next to Mellotron, electronic (Farfisa) organs he used a great variety of Moog synths, notably the miniMoog...you can hear it on his classic albums "Body love vol II" (in the track "moogetique" for long monotonous,"moody" atmospheres), "Timewind" and "Moondawn" -------------

I really like Emerson's solo on the album version of
Fanfare for the Common Man, plus those on From The Beginning and the Works 1 version of Tank. Another huge favourite is Catalan by Greenslade. It is really aggressive and the synth has a great, slightly distorted sound. Also agree with the choice of Wakeman's on The Revealing Science of God (about the only thing he did on the album!) ------------- "It's 1973, almost dinnertime and I'm 'aving 'oops!" - Gene Hunt |
