Pause it at 2:35 for a peek at LF.  Some of the highlights on the
Synergy recordings are quite amazing.  Wouldn't it be nice ifhe could
recreate some of that material with up-to-date sequencers and
recording gear.

Synergy has several signature Moog sounds.  (Hard to recreate with
today's synths).

Greetings Clay and gang,   I've been a Synergy fan sincethe release
of first LP   " Realizations For Rock Orchestra." Featuring his M400
#725 ,used only on that  LP.    In his own words, Larry never used it
again following "....a dubious restoration attempt in the 70's....."
....Now, WHO could he be referring to ?
 

Larry recent CD,  "Reconstructed Artifacts" was completed before
I had the chance to return his refurbished M400 to NJ  (2004).See photo.
Nice touch is LF's added Tron samples (better than NO Tron),
to several tunes which didn't feature the M400 when first released.
 

Cover/liner artwork features more electrical antiquities dear tome.
Old Edison meters, street-lights,wireless apparatus, etc.
Fitting, as LF is also a member of Edison Historic Site, and onthe
staff of  the Morris County Historic Commission.
 

See more photos of Larry, his wife Phyllis, and "zappaboggs" /crew
during MONEYPIT Summer-2005, on Ken Leonard's Website.
