I had Morton Subotnick's album "Silver Apples of The Moon" at age 11, was always experimenting with tape loops and effects and then went to college and got to spend two years playing with a Buchla 100 series system. So, this documentary was pretty fascinating to me. pretty esoteric stuff but if you love electronics and synths, you'll probably dig this. Towards the end of the film they get into all of the new modular units available and it's interesting that the market is similar to the guitar pedal market. Since the eurobox format standard was created in the late 90's, everybody with a soldering iron and some electronic knowledge is out there making exotic new modules. i think i need to get back into this before i die... The Buchla series 100:

Not a judgement though... just my reality.

Well,that percussion piece isn't to my taste but I know what you mean-I'd rather hear Schubert than Jay-Z,but hip hop culture is still a part of my life on a secondary level.Most of the people I work with are younger than 30,not white,and into what would be known as urban culture,so while hip hop is not my thing,I respect it as entertainment and sometimes as an artform.But these guys know,if your riding with me,don't touch the radio.
