Uit een interview:
"Among the synths in Nemo at this time were an Oberheim 4-Voice, a Roland SH3A and Vangelis' favourite, the Yamaha CS80, to which he had been introduced at a trade fair in 1977. He was excited by the possibilities it offered, but arranged to have one on loan for a few weeks before deciding whether to spend the necessary £4850 (the CS80's asking price at the time)! During this period, Vangelis recorded the Spiral album (released 1977), which featured the CS80 on every track. Shortly after, he imported a CS80 from Japan in order to bypass the six-month UK waiting list, and the synth arrived in London after a mammoth train journey through Russia. With help from Yamaha-Kemble's Dusty Miller, Vangelis eventually went on to buy another seven CS80s, some of which were for concerts, while others were just for spare parts."
Nu heb ik van de week Kent Spong (zo'n beetje de n1 van de CS specialisten) aan de telefoon gehad, die wist me te vertellen dat V in de hoogtij dagen niet 8, maar 40 (!!!) cs-80's had, verspreid over een aantal studio's over de hele wereld. Hij schijnt er nu nog ongeveer 8 te hebben, de rest is verkocht. Geen idee in hoeverre dit Urban Legend is, maar ik ga ervan uit dat iemand als Kent Spong dit niet 1 2 3 uit de duim zuigt - hij heeft connecties....
maar 't is wel errug veel.
