Leave your thoughts about Moog.
| New York Daily NewsRobert DominguezMoog mostly has the amiable, 70-ish inventor recounting his story, from his teen years as an electronics whiz in the Bronx to his development of a smaller, cheaper synthesizer. |
| The New York TimesStephen HoldenAt the very least, Moog should persuade you that the history of music over the last century is as much a story of technology and sound as a family tree of stylistic influences. It's a very useful reminder. |
| The A.V. ClubKeith PhippsShort and shapeless but nonetheless welcome documentary. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasFjellestad exhibits a playful adoration for the man and the otherworldly sounds of his machine in an intriguing rendering of one of music technology's seminal figures. |
| Village VoiceNick CatucciDry interviews and soggy performances by the likes of Money Mark and Rick Wakeman of Yes don't do much to burnish Moog's legacy. |
| TV Guide MagazineKen FoxThis short documentary might teach you a thing or two about the electronic instrument that revolutionized the sound of modern music. |
| L.A. WeeklyGreg BurkLargely, you get to watch a nice old guy waxing philosophical in his beloved vegetable garden, in his workshop or amid city traffic. If that switches you on, then plug in. |
| Boston GlobeLeighton KleinFor every insight, there are a half-dozen meandering conversations and unguided reminiscences. |
| EmpireSimon CrookYet in spite of the affable Mr. Moog, the mood remains distant, too fetishistic to be passionate. Great noises, though. |
