Classic. I never get tired of listening to this. I always pick out something new.
I was lucky enough to catch his live performance of Oxygene in Glasgow a couple of years ago. As a long time fan it was a dream come true.
Lack of VCS3 around here.
I would hate to imagine an accident up there on stage but the insurance person must have the equipment valued at a couple hundred thousand! I’ve never seen so much synths of classic variety on one stage.
Also, this is just amazingly brilliant music. Thanks for the post.
only 3 synthis?
