[sdiy] OT: Music movies (was: Mr. Kirby)

[Peter Forrest]

The Moog modular in 'Performance' (1970) is one of the best bits of the film for me (pace Anita Pallenberg).

   How about "Xanadu" There is a scene with an 80's rock band playing a huge modular and an Oberheim 4 voice. There is some guy that runs on stage playing a small hand held synth. There is also a girl stuck to the modular with patch cords! Xanadu is a great cheesy movie. The soundtrack is by ELO.

    Gotta admit, I've heard of that one, but never seen it. I'll have to check
    it out. I mean, any movie with eight Finnish accordion players (seven
    living, one dead and frozen who still travels with the band), has GOT to be 
    worth seeing. BTW, while checking out "Leningrad Cowboys" I ran across a
    pretty good list of other musical and music-related films. I'm sure at least
    ONE of them has some synthesizers in it ;) By the way, anybody remember the 
    appearance of TONTO in "Phantom of the Paradise"? (way to get back on topic,
    Timo)
