Minimoog Concept Art

Alexei made a very interesting point in the comms to the previous post, because I had also noticed the pictures below (the first three are screen-grabs from the minimoog film) and love these space-age Minimoog design concepts. I found a few more which I have scanned from a book I've got called Vintage Synths. Google revealed one more picture from the Moog Foundation. Are there any more?

    The pics are fascinating.I have the Vintage Synths book by Mark Vail,its like my bible!Along with Peter Forrest's "A-Z of Analogue Synthesisers"
    I used to go and swoon over the Moog modular in the basement of Turnkey in London years ago-never had the chance to play one alas..I miss that store so much!

    Wow, great that there's more. They look very nice, although I wonder if artist was also an engineer or musician - some of variants seem very impractical.
    Were any synths before 90's designed in the same space-age vein? Only some Yamaha organs like EX-42 or FX-1 come to mind.

    the moog cdx was pretty space age, probably the closest thing they made to one of these...

    I was really gutted when i found out that the synth in Close Encounters was an ARP 2600 encased in something to make it look futuristic!!!
    that's my only comment on these pics
