I guess Tangerine Dream did have some flute on "Alpha Centauri", "Zeit"
or "Atem"...  But by 1974 and "Pheadra" they did not, IIRC.

Makes me think, u-he is currently working on filters for a
Sequential Circuit Pro One software emulation.  The current state of

Japanese female trio Ars Nova, two keyboard players, drummer.  Live in
