   The most incredible organ distortion I have ever heard is on 'Peel
   the Paint' from the Gentle Giant Octopus album. Sounds almost like
   a mechanical scraping. Time to warm up Napster!

I agree.  (Except that "Peel the Paint" is from "Three Friends".)

Now I know this is getting off topic because we don't discuss music
here and Gentle Giant never used a heck of a lot of synths anyway, but
Gentle Giant was one of the most amazing progressive rock bands ever.
If you haven't head them I highly recommend the albums:
  "Three Friends"
  "Octopus"
  "In a Glass House"
  "The Power and the Glory"
  "Free Hand" 
  "Playing the Fool" (live)

There aren't many places you can hear proper electric counterpoint in
5/4 time.
