I watched this movie on Netflix. While the subject matter was promising, I was disappointed that they were not able to include many snippets of the actual pieces of music that put these new synthesizer capabilities to good use (new in the 60s and 70s). Instead, I heard a lot of "bleep bleep bloop" random noises that were not connected to the (sometimes) groundbreaking music which benefited from the new synthesizers, as the speakers talked into the camera about the new synthesizers. The result left me disappointed.

Looks pretty interesting, although I don't get off on big modular synths, but then (and this is going to sound like I am completely up my own ar$e, but I'm really not lol) I am more into proper music than just making noises. I like the immediacy of instruments that you switch on and play a tune on.

There was another documentary on early synth pioneers called What the Future Sounded Like - see link below - which I found by accident because Gordon Reid (Sound on Sound reviewer) features in it. Really interesting but again not that much in the way of actual music highlights. I really enjoyed it though.
