 Everything old is new againAug 10, 2009
Knowing almost nothing about analog synthesis, I got my hands on Moog's "Little Phatty" Synth ("LP" for short) just recently. The LP is said to be the last product that Robert Moog had input on and that his vision was to put the power and versaility of the Analog Synth into the hands of more people. (the Voyager is quite expensive, not to mention complex).
Well, it worked. I picked up the "Tribute Edition" of the LP on eBay and was lucky enough to also get the "Tribute" CD and Flash feature, still shrink wrapped.
Stumbling onto the Moog movie was a direct result of the trailer that was on the CD and just about a week ago, I downloaded the movie. I can't stop watching it.
As one reviewer put it (and I'm paraphrasing), capturing Moog and a few backstage friends on film is a priceless view into a world that we may never have known [if this movie was not produced].
Personally, I could have done with a bit less of the DJ scratchin' but it does give air time to the subculture of enthusiasts that use Moog technology for their own brand of what was once considered experimental music.
As quiet and observing as Bob Moog was said to have been (it is said that he preferred to listen to others rather than to speak about himself and his accomplishments), his manner, the stories of collaboration, and especially the clips of the good ole days, tie together a great story of how his first machines came to be.

Analog Synthesizer FeverDec 03, 2006
I finished watching it 5 minutes ago and the first time I did was come here to amazon to see how much a minimoog costs, too bad I will have to wait a couple of years before I can afford one. Anyway, it's a very good documentary, I'm glad someone honored Mr. Moog making a documentary about him, he desserves that and way more.

 mumbling, muttering messAug 27, 2006
A documentary about Robert Moog, one of the most important figures in electronic music? Yes, please, sign me up. Alas, this premise goes awry from the outset. This mishmash of a documentary feels like a collection of outtakes from a better work. I don't need to see Robert Moog talking about pepper plants and Money Mark diddling around on a synthesizer.
MOOG demonstrates that sometimes it's best to not rely on the subject of the documentary as the subject matter expert of the film. Robert Moog is not the most well-spoken advocate and historian of his life's work. Likewise, showing the electronic guts of his machines doesn't do much to explain how they work or why Moog's work is important to the music world.
When utilizing archive footage, MOOG works. Unfortunately, these moments are few and far between leaving MOOG a mumbling, muttering mess for its interminable seventy-two minutes. Moog and electronica deserve better.
