reviews and advance praise

This book takes the reader on a mind-expanding trip--a fascinating adventure starting from our concept of the first Moog synthesizer as a powerful tool for the avant-garde composer through its emergence into the mainstream of a dynamic and ubiquitous popular culture that changed our society and impacted our lives. It is a unique exploration of the holistic inter-relationship of science, art, invention, and the cosmos.
--Herbert A. Deutsch, collaborator, first Moog design, 1964; first live performance of Moog, Town Hall, New York City, September 1965 (NY Improvisation Quartet); leader, Moog Jazz Quartet, MoMA "Jazz in the Garden, August 1969

An impressive work dealing with one of the most important innovations in music in recent years. There is no doubt that Robert Moog was the creator of a new range of instruments adding to the palette of tone colors that had largely been unchanged since the time of Mozart.
--Sir George Martin, C.B.E.

This engagingly written book reads almost like a thriller. Trevor Pinch and Frank Trocco's Analog Days is an immensely valuable contribution to the small literature of histories of musical instruments and music and technology more generally.
