Putting this up more for my own reference to get later.
"Tracing the development of the Moog synthesizer from its initial conception to its ascension to stardom in Switched-On Bach, from its contribution to the San Francisco psychedelic sound, to its wholesale adoption by the worlds of film and advertising, Analog Days conveys the excitement, uncertainties, and unexpected consequences of a new technology that would provide the soundtrack for a critical chapter of our cultural history."
Update from AH (make sure to read the comments section for more). Personally I still plan to get it. There may be some mistakes but overall it should be a good read:
"It's also said to contain a lot of B.S. with attributions to people
who simply didn't do certain things the author says they did.
For one, Dan Wyman who ran SoundArts in L.A. in the 70s, and who
WROTE the Moog modular manual, was quite ticked-off when he read the
book and saw so many historical inaccuracies."
Wonderful, now what? ; )
