Back in college in the 80s I got a chance to work on analog modulars: Buchla, Roland 100M, the humble Electrocomp. I remember what those sounded like and it taught me a lot about synthesis. And it gave me a love for that analog sound, even though digital is quite useful, too.
I was in college in the early 90s, and you know what my college's lab had? An M1, a TX-802, and an HR-16. So my love of analog certainly didn't come from there.
Rather, it dates back to the Sid and Marty Krofft series Land of the Lost (1974-1976), a childhood favorite. The soundtrack was equal parts foreboding resonant filter sweeps, foreboding tympani, and foreboding banjo. I still put episodes on in the background sometimes. Bwa, bwa, bwahh, the Sleestaks are coming!
I can get as Land of the Lost as I want to with the Pro 3.
