Tony Banks did some great stuff with the new Polymoog synth on 1978's "And Then There Were Three." Check out his polyphonic portamento strings at 1:14:

Sorry, I have a tough time listening to that song in the middle of summer.

No one better than Banks---these top acts had the best keyboard nerds around and keyboard companies giving them the newest innovations----they used to get advertising deals from some of these companies.

Huh. I thought TD were these days more well known for their film soundtracks than for their regular studio albums. There's definitely a generation gap that pre-Kraftwerk electronic music in general is on the wrong side of regarding younger listeners, though. Not to mention even on their 1980s albums TD still use guitars and other traditional instruments, despite having switched to digitals synths. |

I know that many people don't like this song but the song contains great Banks' synth solos - very advanced sounding synths back then in 1973.

Nope I've only just got that album by Space. My interest in synth music doesn't stretch much beyond TD, Vangelis, Neuronium and JM Jarre. I am admittedly a novice at this genre as Dean so tactfully intimated

I'd like to recommend CLUSTER's 71 the album from 1971. The album sounds not dated after 43 years. This is a great review:

Cluster's "Hollywood" track is a must hear. One of the most
advanced uses of synths and electronic percussion in the 70s.

Yes Tormato brought a significant change in Wakeman's keys sounds (which most people didn't approve).

I Tormato''s synthesizers work as it created by Mr Wakeman.

Some of those keyboards were the latest technology that didn't have a enduring shelf

Cluster's '71 is indeed some righteous stuff, every bit as disturbing as what original-generation industrial noiseniks like NON and Throbbing Gristle would be laying down a good handful of years later. Which I'd have no idea about from the bright and colourful cover art.
