Space age synthesizer pioneer Robert Moog celebrates his birthday today. The weird electronic sounds of his eponymous keyboard were a genre of their own in the late 60's/early 70's, and the modern (and vintage) variations of the Moog Synthesizer remain staples of the electronic music scene of today.



During the heyday of moog records, the uniqueness of the moog sound led to strange record titles such as this, "The Plastic Cow Goes Moooog!"
