Movie Reviews of Moog
Movie Review: Fascinating Documentary on Synthesizer Guru Bob Moog
Summary: 5 Stars
This documentary (released in late 2004 in theaters) is an amazing tribute to the man who brought us the synthesizer. This film has had some mixed reviews but all the negative reviews missed the point badly. This film is about Bob Moog (as opposed to his creations) and the world of music would be completely different had he not come up with his invention. The film mines Bob head for all its worth and we learn about the connections between musician and his or her instrument. A must see for all fans of documentary films and music buffs.Movie Review: Analog Synthesizer Fever
Summary: 5 Stars
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.Movie Review: "Moog" a brilliant Film for anyone interested in moog,

If you like synths you'll love this DVD guaranteed. A must see are the Shaffer light commercials.Movie Review: A perfect present snapshot of Moog: the man, and the musicians who love him
Summary: 4 Stars
I, too, initially wondered about the lack of history or context in this documentary. But as Dr. Moog wanders Tokyo and New York, you begin to realize that this is about something beyond his instruments or history: it's about the philosophy of sound and music-making, about the joy Dr. Moog and the people who have played his instruments have shared. That soul, as you trace it through present players from Stereolab to Keith Emerson, really comes across. Bits play like an ad for a Minimoog Voyager, yes, but I can think of no better snapshot of modern electronic music making. The focus around one instrument and present time is necessary to keep it from sprawling over everything. Watch it together with the Theremin documentary, which clearly influenced this film.
The director specifically refers to the Wendy Carlos incident. She refused to participate, and even threatened legal action. It's unfortunate, but I think for whatever reason she's refusing to participate in almost any history -- that's her decision, and I don't think it's specific to Mr. Fjellestad.
