The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

AN1X-ers,

Being a big Hawkwind fan but stuck in the states, was enjoying some 
pictures of a recent gig at the Royal Festival Hall.  Lo and behold, I 
spotted Tim Blake (Gong, HW, and solo fame) playing an AN1X.  Looks like it 
is also his primary controller (as it is with me!)

RFH pics

If you don't know about these guys, you should check them out.  They play 
space rock, which is straight ahead rock with lots of synth lines and sound 
effects, interspersed with spacey pieces.  Sci Fi themes abound.

If anyone's interested, be careful of what you buy.  There are a core of 
albums that represent studio and quality live material, but there is an 
awful lot of bootleg/compilations of very poor  quality (not endorsed by 
the band).  Check out http://www.geocities.com/Area51/6568/discs.html for a 
good discography.  If it isn't listed here, it's probably crap.
