Looking for tracks with mostly moog usage (hardware please). I am contemplating a possible future purchase. Any recommendations for listening?

i used to use moog a lot (voyager).

ive found softsynths to be good enough to wow people and the voyager has been mainly used as decoration for the last year.

Mostly Moog? How about ALL MOOG, ALL THE TIME!!!

I'll give you a 6pack for it.

I honestly don't know why moog had to rehash the old classic when they could have added some features to make the voyager a little more unique. add band/high/notch filter and it could be a dream machine. it might have costed more but come on, who wouldn't want it?

Because most people buy it knowing what they'll get. I would own one if I didn't already have a moog. I like the sound, a lot. To agree with you though, Moog should release a new classic analog, like Dave smith has been doing, but maybe they like their sales figures better.

I think they should release a really cool desktop synth, like the voyager with all the usual filters and a sequencer built in. maybe only 2 vco's to make it a little cheaper or something. now that would be something special. maybe knob tweak recording the way the electribes work. that would be crazy.

why aren't these companies cool?

I dunno, they're pretty cool, just way out of my price range ATM. I would like to see a two voice at least synth with band pass and high pass filters personally. Moog has a patent on the low pass filter circuitry they use that I'm pretty sure never ran out. It's a big reason why nothing else sounds like a Moog.
What would be cool to me is if they released a poly of some sort.
If I was in NIN or Prodigy or some shit I would definitely have one for live use.

Wendy Carlos - Switched on Bach.

^^^

On that line Gary Numan's album "The Pleasure Principle" uses fat Moogs throughout. Same record the song Cars is on.

He should have stuck to that sound IMO.

not 100% sure but I think dj mitsu the beats - Rendezvous Feat. Mark De Clive - Lowe is pretty moog heavy. I enjoy it at any rate

gets wicked at the end, but last.fm only plays a little snippet of the track

if price/value wasn't an issue I would take a ms-20 over a moog any day.

here you go mate, any track you'll find here smells moog

am I the only asshole that still calls it 'moo g'

I've never understood the 'm oh g' crap, even though that's how the dude pronounced his name that means nothing! NOTHING! it's 'moo g'

Schulze & Namlook
Dark side of the moog series

my current favs:

Olney - Songs for the Synthesizer (3" edition) (2004)
http://www.greenhornrecords.com/sfts3in.htm
and of course Mort Garson´s Plantasia from 1976.

Best,
