(Synth IDs in the comments, obviously)

Well, on the left-hand side we seem to have a MiniMoog and a Prophet 5? (Or maybe that's a MemoryMoog?)
Can't get a clear look at the guy on the right though. Something Korg up top and could be anything underneath..
The whole thing reminds me somewhat of Sailor and their weird conjoined piano affair.
I kept waiting for her to sing "All your base are belong to us".
From the sound of it all that gear was unplugged in the studio as well.
OK maybe the bassline was from the moog but these clowns are only generating any passing interest here purely on their selection of rented stage props.
This looks like it was done 10 years ago. Its as tired and played out as using a giant rotating CD as a stage prop.
i read this as two swedes in drag with a whole bunch of synths, and thought to myself is this what passes for drag these days? lame-o suits and bowler hats - what a couple of twats i grumbled.
This was a boring tune, even though im borned in sweden and live here i have never heard of this song. It seems that they play the synths they have on stage just as much as Paul Schaffer plays his Minimoog voyager on the David Letterman-show!
