awe inspiring
and TD's even Bigger Moog was sold...watch for it in the Buggles 'Video killed the radio star' video...I'm not kidding
Hang on a sec, wasn't Video Killed the Radio Star before 1980?
....and before you accuse me of being a closet Buggles fan; I know that Buggles joined Yes at the start of 1980, which was a year or two after Video Killed the Radio Star.
Yes....ok here goes (by the end of this you regret asking)
, Chris franke sold the Big Moog in the seventies...I mean the orginal Big one to Hans Zimmer. Now the geezer who serviced this says I'm wrong...but he then promptly sent me the wrong photo (it was a pic of Peter's PE modular...that Chris ended up with after TD paid for). However I used to know somebody who met Chris several times (the last time was in 1995 in Beveryhills), to cut a long story short he agrees with me that it's the same Modular, and he should know as he owns two of them! (although obviously Hans has assembled it in a different order and added to it over the years...Hans later was in group called Helden...note the second E, this group, who also had Warren Cann from Ultravox played at the London Planeterium, using the Big Moog).
and that's the short story
Oh and the Moog is right at the end of the video...have a look in youtube!
