Modular

In the year 2000 the band Modular was formed, whose name was taken from the mythical Moog Modular analog synthesizer series (which was similar in appearance to a phone switch crossed by kilometers of cables that allowed the user to create infinite possibilities of electronic sounds of the space age). At the end of the 1960s and beginning of the 1970s albums featuring these synthesizers were produced in abundance, known as 'Moog Records' or 'Moog Music'. Soundscapes of retrofuturistic and fantastic feeling were created, sprinkled with kitsch touches.
