Synthesizer Pioneer Bob Moog Dies 258
Sigalarm writes "CNN is reporting that synthesizer pioneer and all-around vanguard of electronic music Bob Moog has passed away at age 71. Dr. Moog built his first electronic instrument -- the theremin -- at age 14 and made the MiniMoog, 'the first compact, easy-to-use synthesizer,' in 1964. He was the first to bring the electronic synthesizer within reach of most musicians, and his MiniMoog is still highly praised and often emulated, to this day."

"Y'know what they call industrial music over there? Electro Body Music!"
"Electro Body Music? What do they call techno?"
"Well, techno's techno. Except in Paris they call it 'le techno'."
"What do they call house?"
"I don't know, I don't listen to that shit. But you know what put on drums in Holland?"
"What?"
"Flange."
"Goddamn!"

The first track of the album [ink19.com] album also features a bit of dialog that, by itself, is worth the price of the entire album:
"All right, everybody, be COOL! I'm your new SYSTEMS ADMINISTRATOR!"
"Any of you fucking Ewoks move and I'll terminate every last motherfucking job on the mainframe!"
