My very first LP was Emerson Lake & Palmer. I still get a kick
out of tracks like Tank. If anyone did a bang-up (sometimes
literally) job with a Moog, it was Keith Emerson. My 15yo nephew
is more than impressed with Lucky Man

We also used to listen to artists like Walter Carlos (yes, I did like
Sonic Seasonings), Isao Tomita, Stomu Yamashta, Kraftwerk and
Tangerine Dream. Now it's all degenerated into Drum 'n' Bass. If
there's one thing wrong with E, it's that you seem to get to like that

But I suffer for my pleasures - as part of a deal with the local 2nd-
hand record store, I get to rummage through all the old vinyl in
exchange for putting his collection of singles on CD. Today it was,
gulp, shudder, all Tommy Roe. Aaaarghhh !!!!! I didn't like him then
and I sure don't like him now ;-(((
