Moog Tribute

Dr. Robert A. Moog, the inventor of the Moog synthesizer, died Sunday. Here's more commentary by Ed Driscoll, via Dean Esmay.

As a tribute to Dr. Moog, who was profoundly influential on modern music, I have put three tracks from Autobahn by Kraftwerk in the radio blog. This album was released in 1974. (My Dad had an 8-track of it when I was a kid.) Included is the title track in its complete 22+ minute glory.

That's awesome!

Hi Dean,

I'm glad you enjoyed the songs! :-) Autobahn is a classic, as far as I'm concerned. I bought it on CD many years ago, but I noticed that now it's only available as an import (which makes it more expensive). iTunes doesn't have it either, which is a shame (although they have other stuff by Kraftwerk).
