Synergy Larry Fast

It is incredible that he is not on the list! One of the pioneers of moder keyboards who played with Nektar and Peter Gabriel! IMHO he is with Wendy Carlos one of the few keyboardplayers who understood the symphonic use of the different voices. Check out his arrangements of Dvorak's "Largo".
