Sinister: Peter/Keith/Adrian

Speaking of great Moog solos, the day after the cancelled B+S show in
Toronto, my friend pulls out all his Miami Vice tapes, surround sounds it
and wow.  The intro song is all moog, even the bit that sounds like a
guitar solo.  And the bass is so thick, the foundation was rumbling!  Who'd
of thought.  Frustrating syths to play though.  An art-form I think if you
want to graduate past the bleepy sounds.
