I have constructed a list of people who I know were poineers (or at least used them in the early 70's and late 60's) of the synths, but something tells me I am missing some one important... ------------- "Let's get the hell away from this Eerie-ass piece of work so we can get on with the rest of our eerie-ass day" |

Edgar Froese. Tangerine Dream have been closely associated with the development of synths from the early 70s up until today. ------------- 'Like so many of you I've got my doubts about how much to contribute to the already rich among us...' Robert Wyatt, Gloria Gloom |

As for the influence he had on the adoption of the instrument by
other keyboardists (and for playing skills of course!) I'd go with Emerson; if I have to choose from the list, Edgar Froese, one of my favourite musicians. |

Emerson should be on the list. I think he was 'messin' with Moogs' a few years before Wakemen and that geezer from Tangerine zzzzzzz Dream

If we're going to look at the original pioneers, George Harrison had the first Moog in the UK and released an album called Electronic Sounds which pretty much sank without trace. You can also hear it on several tracks on Abbey Road. I believe that the Moog solo at the end of 'Lucky Man' was played on Harrison's instrument - I know that ELP didn't have a moog of their own when they recorded their debut album. In Germany, Florian Fricke of Popol Vuh had the first Moog, which he played on PV's first two albums before reverting to acoustic piano. He also played Moog on Tangerine Dream's Zeit. ------------- 'Like so many of you I've got my doubts about how much to contribute to the already rich among us...' Robert Wyatt, Gloria Gloom |

I think you forgot to mention Kraftwerk and Jean Michel Jarre, although I don't know if they could be considered as 'pioneers'. As for the list, Vangelis is my favourite, although Tony Banks is pretty good too |

Walter/Wendy Carlos (Switched-On Bach). Moog actually designed the first synthesizers with Carlos. ------------- “Great things are not accomplished by those who yield to trends and fads and popular opinion.” ~Jack Kerouac |

| Keith Emerson, but since he isn't here I'll go with Wakeman. |

| I went with Wakeman, but all evidence seems to suggest Moog worked most closely with Keith Emerson, since Robert Moog was the pioneer of synths, the correct choice would lkely be Emerson. |

As if you couldn't guess, I'm a Wakeman fan more then Emerson, but as many have pointed out, Keith Emerson worked closely with Dr. Moog early on.
