Larry Fast, who you might be familiar with through his work with Peter
Gabriel, has also done a large chunk of innovative synth. stuff.  Like
Pete and TR, he was doing it before the age of digital synths, etc.
His first album "Electronic Realizations for Rock Orchestra" has just
been re-released on CD with a greatly improved sound (or at least
Larry assured me of that in e-mail :)

Oblig Who Content: I videotaped the CNN PT segment and will be grabbing
some still frames from that, which I will make available by FTP/Web.
Not sure which show it was from, but it wasn't HOB because Pete was
wearing what looked like a blue polo izod style shirt.  Was this the
SF show or NYC?
