Make your list of 5 up to 20 if you desire.
Put the songs and artists from whom they're. |

Not sure if these are from that particular model of Moog but here goes:
1 - Aquatarkus by Keith Emerson from Welcome back My Friends to the Show That Never Ends 2 - Intro to Music Reincarnate from No Earthly Connection by Rick Wakeman (Erm... perhaps 25 overdubbed minimoogs ain't really a solo is it ?) 3 - Blues Variation by Keith Emerson from Pictures at an Exhibition 4 - Trilogy by Keith Emerson (during the instrumental section in 6/4) 5 - Arthur by Rick Wakeman from Myths and Legends of King Arthur 6 - Bitches Crystal by Keith Emerson from Tarkus (the ending section but hardly really a solo I guess...) |

Simple. Anything by the man who's trade mark sound in the mid 70's was the mini-Moog, Jan Hammer. All his contribution to the remarkable Billy Cobham's Spectrum album - one track heard again when sampled in a big way on Massive Attack's Safe From Harm. Hammer's contribution to three Al DiMeola albums, especially Scenario. Contribution to Stanley Clarke's second eponymous album and Tony William's Joy Flying. and in particular Hammer's own Oh Yeah? and Melodies. And I've left out all the contributions to Jeff Beck albums,. Should note Hammer and Emerson got life time awards from Moog 3 years ago - and their performances for the show are on the same DVD. Hammer took it further than anybody listed so far as a lead instrument in a band.

That's weird - I can't think of hardly any synth solos.
1. The Revealing Science of God. (already mentioned) I'm pretty sure this one has sterilized me.
2. In the Cage -- that fantastic synth that descends slowly at first then quickly and then jams. ("Outside the cage I see my brother John." That part.)
3. Pick any one synth solo from the Six Wives of Henry the Eigth. There's one that I like more than others, but darned if I can remember which wife. It's not very fast, has an almost mallet attack and sort of goes Dowwww dow-d-da Dow da-da doww, etc. You know . . .
Mostly I like little synth stabs that are not solos exactly:
In "Back-Door Angels" from Tull's War Child album, there are a couple of verses with a little synth noodle thrown in that seems to have absolutely nothing to do the rhythm, or it's a very bizarre mordent. "They carry their candles high ..." That may have been an ARP, not a Moog. I can't remember. Very cool and unexpected.
Near the beginning of Tarkus, when the first reverberating heavy synth brass sound comes in after the opening Hammond riffage. Hooo - that's what synths are for!

Thats one of my all time favorite epics and im pretty sure it dont got any mini moog solos on it. However its loaded with amazing fuzzed up organ solos.

Well I'll second that. Check out Blue Wind on Beck's Wired. Stunning stuff.

Over land and under ashes
In the sunlight, see - it flashes Find a fly and eat his eye But don't believe in me Don't believe in me Don't believe in me |
