    same for me

    My dad bought an ARP synth demo album on LP around 1969 - I loved it! I was around 10 or 11 at the time. I found it on YouTube!

  • I'm really surprised that no one mention ELP "Peter Gunn", one of the famous synth-riffs ever.

  • edited February 2015

    I was 7 or 8 when this album (not a "synth", but all electronic) appeared in my parents' collection...

    The Wailers - "Stir It Up" Live The Old Grey Whistle Test 1973

    Woo! Yes, nice one. Tight performance.

    I think for me it must have been Maxwells Silver Hammer on Abbey Road by the Beatles. Great album that also happened to be my first together with Sgt. Pepper...

  • Yes. Close to the Edge.

  • Damn. Bob Marley. Seriously cool dude.

  • The Normal - T.V.O.D. / Warm Leatherette

  • Cool answer that is a lie

    Shameful answer that is true

    I was thinking on this some today and this was definately one of the early ones for me. Edgar Winter also played one hell of a sax line in this also!

  • Dwarf Nebula Processional March and Dwarf Nebula (a single track). Zappa.

    Electronic Number 1 - Hawkwind

    Funny, I nearly put forward Silver Machine, Hawkwind, but I remember hearing that on the radio slightly later than Chicory Tip.

  • edited February 2015

    There are a lot of others mentioned here I could have put forward: Yes, ELP, Floyd, Zappa, Tangerine Dream etc. but it was Hawkwind (and also Gong to some extent) that really made me sit up and notice what a synth could do. Electronic Number 1 from The Space Ritual is pure electronic noise - created by a small home-made 'audio generator' sat on a little table at the side of the stage.

    As soon as I heard it I thought 'I want to be able to do that'

    I also — I bought the album Quark Strangeness and Charm, then almost every Hawkwind album I could get in Australia (living there at the time, in secondary school) and found myself immersed in the Space Ritual double album most times.

  • Yeah they were real pioneers, and their 80's festival sets inspired a lot of dance bands too.

    I see your Eskimo (btw, had Duck Stab on EP, lost now, but the CD release is in the attic) and raise you Diskomo.

  • Just a few, from the 80's:

    The Final Countdown - Europe

    Axel F

    Aha - Take on Me

    Nena - 99 Red Balloons

    I know there are quite a few others, from the 80's.

  • Yazoo was featured on last week's episode of The Americans.

    Quick game, one line answer each.

    Which one song in your formative years woke you up to what a synth is – ie, the first time you remember wondering what on earth is making that interesting sound, and turned you onto the path we all tread to

    day? Only one song per offering. Only one line.

    Actually grew up with father and mother in bands, so I ended up with a keyboard to play melody or bass lines when I was like 13. Music was just there.

    As far as loosing my Synth Virginity -------- Ministry & NIN during teenage years.

    Proceeded with working and living out the late 90's- early 2000's in NYC --- epicenter for classic house that set the stage for all the "dub" and "electro" made widely popular.

    Then moved to Miami till 2012 ----- worked at Space and other venues- so stayed plugged in with synth music for ages.

  • Tomita, early Camel and Greenslade were also some of my early synth heroes

  • Planet Rock by Afrika bambata - which incidently was inspired by kraftwerk.
