Hi Walt
 
Up until recently I owned the following Arturia Synths, which I had purchased individually, 
Modular V 2, ARP 2600V 2, CS80V 2, Prophet V 2, and the Analog Lab.
Actually the Prophet V came with the CS80 V on a buy 1 get one free deal.
 
Then earlier this year Arturia made me an offer I could not refuse which was the V Collection for a very silly price, less than half full price, which added.
 
Oberheim SEM V, the Jupiter 8V2, the Mini V, the Spark VDM, the Wurlitzer V and the Analog laboratory.  If you can stretch to the V-Collection I would highly recommend it.  The Analogue Laboratory and the Analog Lab allow you to layer two of the synths which can result in some very amazing sounds.

Thanks again John.  I fear I've hijacked your "song" thread and made it into a "gear" thread.  I will send you a PM to continue this chat privately.  And now to return this to being a "song" thread...
 
I see you posted a new version of the old version of Butterflies.  I think this is the best of all!  I love Rik's lead work over the top of the synths.  I love the deep reverb on his guitar as well.  A fantastic collaboration!!

Thanks again Walt, Rik has certainly added something nice to it.

Come on people, listen to this, not at least because I'm playing on this  : ) . Good stuff by Wookiee  ; )

Hey Rik, it seems the people on this board are not as enthusiastic about ambient/electronic music as they are about pop/rock and folk songs.  But there are a few of us around who dig it.  I, for one, really enjoyed your work!  And there are a few other lurkers that pop out from time to time.  They'll be by to listen soon I'm sure. :)

Hi Walt, thanks, my life would be so much easier if I liked drums ; ) anyway, i really like what wookiee's done here, especially the 2006 version. Couldn't help myself playing along ; )
 
Rik

Good job I have a furry face otherwise you would see me blushing.
 
Big thanks to Rik for his contribution and encouragement and to you Walt.
 
@Walt did you get my PM I discover my outbox was full so it might not have gone.

Love what Rik did with the new version... very nice...
 
I like the original '06 version best with the synth bass... sounds like my old ARP Odyssey... 
Love the arpeggios at 1:45...
I also like what Rik did on that but, I wouldn't bring in his part until after the 1st chorus, and mixed a little more back...
This is eery nice to listen to this morning...
Some day, I may post some of my synth mixes from the mid '70s, but all I have left was mixed down to cassettes and don't know if they even play any more... I know my tape deck doesn't...   Great work guys...

Thanks Frank for the comments on the original 06.
