Hilary says: “This uneven documentary tells the story of (recently-deceased) electronic music innovator, Dr. Robert Moog.
An electrical engineer and theremin enthusiast, Moog’s name became synonymous with the synthesizer in the 1960s.
“There are some interesting interactions between Moog and musicians who specialize in Moog equipment, though I felt that it was skewed towards the first Moog players and contemporary acts such as Stereolab, while would a more balanced picture would’ve been created through more interviews with musicians from the interim period (late ’60s – beginning of the ’90s). The Rick Wakeman interview could’ve been omitted; what a tool! 3 cats”
