Interesting historical snapshotBy David TownsendMost of the interviews are 20 years old; so you wont get a lot of contemporary insight; but its interesting as a historical snapshot of the days when synthesizers were new and novel.One interviewee predicts that the future of sampling is in hardware samplers; because computers will never be powerful enough to do the job. Oops. The future tends to be slippery like that.Rick Wakeman talks about his cut-down touring rig: Hammond C3; Polymoog; Prophet 5; two Birotrons; two Minimoogs; a CP-30; and RMI Keyboard Computer; and a grand piano! "That was it"; he says. Before; he says; he had too much gear onstage. Nowadays; a touring keyboardist is likely to carry everything he needs under one arm.If you were coming up in those days; as I was; youll enjoy some nostalgia. If you werent born yet; youll get a historical perspective thats lost in todays unquestioning adoration of everything "vintage".Recommended.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. I was disappointed that the pictures of the keyboards werent in colorBy Cameron HughesI was disappointed that the pictures of the keyboards werent in color; otherwise this is a very good bookvery useful and insightful interviews!!!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Great HistoryBy Michael C. TaylorThis is a great collection of some synth legends from past Keyboard magazine articles - I wish the interviews were updated with current perspectives but I found them interesting overall. A few of the subjects arent exactly "synth gods" - the Cars? Really? but overall this was a great read.
