Warning: given the looks of the players, you might get contact high all these years later. This whole thing appears to be drenched in acid.

(5,819 posts)So outside and whack but so damn tight! I have a couple of Mahavishnu records and JM playing with Miles, but had no idea this lineup existed until today. Thanks a ton!

(77,277 posts)Definitely psychedelic, but I don't hear the precision & technique I associate with prog. Trippy, but a bit sloppy.
I am fascinated with that synthesizer he was using.
Don't believe I've ever seen that one, and I've seen a lot of them. Geez, I owned a bunch of them!.

(77,277 posts)I actually have heard of the EMS line. Either I've never seen one, or did and don't remember it.
I believe that was what Eno used.

(5,819 posts)line was the main synth on On the Run. And while Im no synth historian, I think its innovative pin-matrix approach to patching was unique and allowed the unit it to be a portable alternative to full-on Moog systems (the Mini Moog lost most of the routing options that EMS still provided).
