It's not quite a synthesizer , it's a Wurlitzer electric piano, which still activates a hammer when a key is struck, like a piano, but the hammer instead strikes a metal reed, whose vibrations are then electronically processed to produce the final sound.

We never referred to music as being a particular genre. Of course there's classical, jazz, blues, country, but our music back in the day couldn't always be pigeonholed into one thing in particular, because the songwriters ans musicians were influenced by all genres to comeup with a unique sound.

I saw them on this album tour. One of the best shows I've seen. They're not really poppy synth-y, but they do use keys a lot. They're more rock, but slighty progressive, but not prog rock. Full band, guitars, bass, percussion, sax, drums, keys, all of it. They sound just as good live. And they were funny! I remember costumes at one point. 😂

In 1957, Harry Olson and Herbert Belar completed the RCA Mark II Sound Synthesizer at the RCA laboratories in Princeton, New Jersey. The instrument read punched paper tape that controlled an analog synthesizer The Moog synthesizer, developed by Robert Moog and first sold in 1964, is credited for pioneering concepts such as voltage-controlled oscillators, envelopes, noise generators, filters, and sequencers. In 1970, the smaller, cheaper Minimoog standardized synthesizers as self-contained instruments with built-in keyboards, unlike the larger modular synthesizers before it. Typical bands used the synth from 1964 on Pink Floyd, YES, Led Zepplin, ELP, the moody blues, King crimson, the Beatles, Tangerine dream, The Doors, the stones and Vangalas. Digital synths came on the market in the 1980's they were more portable, reliable and had more functionality.

There are videos of this era Supertramp available. I suggest 'bloody well right". In '79 disco was at it's peak, but solidly in the mid-prog rock era, so they knew weren't going to get too much airplay unless they could lean into i or reject disco altogether. Also you're right about the keys in this. This was also a very progressive era of technology. Pioneers were building computers and synthesizers in their basements and garages. Find something live and it will be impactful to you, I hope. Keep it up. You're doing great!

In terms of the recording environment yeah man, although those words were inherited from Jazz stuff even before. But yeah I think it was a lot of all of the things you described, from they were doing sent work, but there were some atmospheric pads, but really that was a real fucking sass, it sounded like an alto sax to me, which gives it a lot of heft This was an era of transition and you kind of got both at the same time could I

I've thought of this genre as Soft Rock, Top 40 rock, Middle of the Road Rock...and as for the nostalgic feeling, I was 9 years old when I heard this, and it felt nostalgic to me back then. I have a working theory that we've been alive before we were born, like maybe time is plastic, or in between reincarnations or something. I've heard younger reactors say this over and over, "I feel like I've heard this before, like maybe in a movie, or it was sampled," and that definitely is not always, or even usually the case. Man, that is kind of weird, as if you have the same memory of this song that I have

Synthesizers have been around a lot longer than you mentioned - since the mid-20th century. Moog synths became huge starting in the 60s; minimoogs in the 70s. As far as "genres" are concerned, I feel like it's too easy to get hung up on that because genres are a spectrum. There are no hard and fast defiinitions. If I'm trying to describe Supertramp to the uninitiated, I usually use the term prog-pop because they blend a lot of elements from the early to mid-70s prog-rock scene with a pop sheen and sensibilities.

Supertramp is a bit of a rabbit hole. Try on for size: Goodbye Stranger, Bloody Well Right, Give a Little Bit, Take the Long Way Home and as others have mentioned the album Breakfast in America. There's more where that came from with this group. Why they are not in the R&R Hall of Fame is baffling.
