ironangel07 The history of music, of one of my favourite genre, synthetizers. It is just so perfectly combined with the history of cosmos and the human itself. I'm writting an story based on this album! Favorite track: The further adventures of K. FREEMAN and his incredible machine of a thousand strings.

IlsaJ A history of synthesizers through song, full and vivid. Favorite track: The ballad of Harry CHAMBERLIN and the surreptitious window cleaner.

usclaireforce I love the upbeat vibe of this album. It's a joyful mix of psychedelic chimes, cheery vocals, and most importantly, synthesizers. Each song is about an inventor of a different type of synthesizer or music machine. This happy blend of toots, whistles, and bleeps is the perfect album to listen to on the commute home. Favorite track: The ballad of Harry CHAMBERLIN and the surreptitious window cleaner.

GWW If you love old buzzing analog synths, Mellotrons, Oberheims, Gary Numan, Mono...you have to have this. A really strange melodic trip through Synth history. An amazing release! Favorite track: The Bradley Brothers realise the transmutation of the Chamberlin to the MELLOTRON.
