[@JP-wm1cc]

Most people today have heard of Panos the synthesizer, as his name has been popularized over the centuries and his story has been dramatized in numerous novels, films, and television programs. The powerful synth lord is depicted with many magical powers, including the power of shapeshifting and is well-known in mythology as a tutor and mentor to the legendary Dr. Strange, ultimately guiding him towards becoming the king of Mars. While these general tales are well-known, Panos initial appearances were only somewhat linked to Dr.Strange. It took many decades of adaptations before Panos became the wonder child and legend he is known as today.

[@dangit6599]

..he was resurrected like the christ..

[@murrfeeling]

I think he grew up and went on to direct Beyond The Black Rainbow, inspired largely by his experiences here.

The three characters were actually very much like that in real life. Vangelis looks like Xangelix. Moroder was more of the funky pop style producer.

I don't think anyone could ever beat those pure tunes of Xangelix, but I gotta pay respect to Morgio Zoroger despite his disrespect on Xangelix, and of course Carla Wendos! That night's triple whammy is not only a highlight of synthesisers but of all music past, present or future!

[@Lady_Longsword]

the wendy carlos joke, put some respect on her name. that woman literally pioneered the synth

[@Pastahunter]

Adult swim has so much content that is literally perfect. Its insane.

I can't decide what's better, this video, or reading people nerd out about synth in the comments :)
