You know what I'd like to pick up one of these days? An old
Roland D-50. First synth I ever played with.

If I had the space, I'd get some of them old analog Moog's
and such. I'm quite fond of the early synthesizer work that
people did in the 70's using that old stuff, like Tomita,
Jean-Michel Jarre, Wendy Carlos, Tangerine Dream, etc...
