Switched On
''Switched On'' (also known as ''Switched On Stereolab'' or ''Switched On Volume 1'') is a compilation of Stereolab's first three releases, and was originally released in 1992. The album's name is in tribute to ''Switched-On Bach'' and other similar titles from the late 1960s to 1970s that feature Moog synthesizers as the primary instrument. ''Switched On'' was later licensed to Slumberland Records for a US release, and Rough Trade Germany, for that country, both in 1992. Compiled of tracks from ''Super 45'' and ''Super-Electric'' EPs plus the ''Stunning Debut Album'' 7" single, the album forms the first part of a pentalogy (as of 2022) of Stereolab rarities collections along with ''Refried Ectoplasm'' and ''Aluminum Tunes''. A fourth compilation, '' Electrically Possessed'', was released in 2021, collecting non-album material spanning from 1999 to 2008, and a fifth compilation, titled '' Pulse of the Early Brain'', was released on September 02, 2022.

Moog Synthesizer
The Moog synthesizer is a modular synthesizer developed by the American engineer Robert Moog. Moog debuted it in 1964, and Moog's company R. A. Moog Co. (later known as Moog Music) produced numerous models from 1965 to 1981, and again from 2014. It was the first commercial synthesizer, and is credited with creating the analog synthesizer as it is known today. The Moog synthesizer consists of separate modules which create and shape sounds, which are connected via patch cords. Modules include voltage-controlled oscillators, amplifiers, filters, envelope generators, noise generators, ring modulators, triggers, and mixers. The synthesizer can be played using controllers including keyboards, joysticks, pedals, and ribbon controllers, or controlled with sequencers. Its oscillators can produce waveforms of different timbres, which can be modulated and filtered to shape their sounds (subtractive synthesis). By 1963, Robert Moog had been designing and selling theremins for several ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
