I've seen where they refer to them as "ACNE." I've been listening to the album: Kevin Ayers / John Cale / Brian Eno / Nico - June 1, 1974. I came across a song that is vaguely familiar. I rather like it.

Kevin Ayers "Shouting In A Bucket Blues"

Patch it up in strange ways - it's surprising that it can still make noises that nothing else can make."

There was a local guitar store that had a EMS that looked just like that. I forget what they were asking for it. It had some problems, something on it was broken. However I often wonder worth getting. I wish I knew more about it at the time. It's the fish that got away. Anyway, I can coax similar weird sci-fi sounds out of my Korg Monotribe like Eno could make, but it would be nice to own EMS.
