	Synergy
		Synergy is a tiny Cocoa application for Mac OS X 10.2 (and later) that puts three buttons to control iTunes in your menubar: previous track, next track, and play/pause; as well as providing you with visual feedback about the currently playing tune.
		The Synergy controls, together with the ability to control iTunes via system-wide hot Key combinations, mean that Synergy provides the fastest way of skipping between songs when using the keyboard or the mouse; all this without having to switch to iTunes, or access its Dock menu.
		The Synergy global menu provides you with quick access to recently played tracks and playlists, and the floater displays album covers and provides information whenever a new track starts playing.

		Urban Myth Clubâs debut album, Helium, is hailed as "one of the best downtempo albums ever".

	Synergy Review - Synergy Download
		Synergy is one of the older, better known iTunes enhancers.
		As far as I know, Synergy is the first to have ever had these, and, while they may have begun to appear in other enhancers, they only look and feel like the standard OS X ones here.
		Synergy is the uncontested ruler here, its floaters are not only great looking but also highly customizable.

	The Music Index: Voiceprint: CD Album: Synergy - Semi-Conductor - featuring Larry Fast on synthesizer
		The man behind Synergy is Larry Fast a native of New Jersey who was to have a far-reaching effect on the use of synthesizers in rock music during the seventies and eighties.
		Soon after the release of the debut Synergy album Larry Fast was introduced to Peter Gabriel who at the time had just left Genesis to embark on a solo career and Larry was invited by Gabriel to help with the synthesizer work on Peter's series of self titled solo albums.
		Semiconductor originally released in 1984 is a compilation and Synergy's work spread across a double CD and provides an excellent primer to the work of this artist who has been at the cutting edge of keyboard and synthesizer led rock music for almost thirty years.

	Larry Fast (Interview)
		During 1998 manufacturing and distribution was licensed to Universal/PolyGram's Chronicles label and all nine of the original Synergy albums were reissued through Chronicles during 1998.
		Of your nine Synergy releases the soundtrack to "The Jupiter Menace" is one.
		So even prior to the Synergy albums in the mid-70's I was involved in the scene of the mellotron and synthesizer world in the UK going back to 1971 or thereabouts on a professional level.

	Larry Fast: Evolutionary snapshots
		Those landmark albums were just reissued by Voiceprint in expanded, remastered editions with the aim of ensuring 21st Century ears have access to them for a long time to come.
		The first two albums with the producers Bob Ezrin and Robert Fripp had to be gotten through in a sense, but by the third album, Peter was ready to launch out of the gate.
		I don’t think the fourth album was a failure—far from it—but I don’t think it has the incisive focus on its goal that the third album had.

	The Pain of iTunes Artwork - O'Reilly ONLamp Blog
		If you are using Synergy (if not, shame on you) you have all the CD covers of the songs played in iTunes if they were looked up on Amazon.
		Synergy requests the artwork from Amazon, but only once and then it is stored in a folder called Album Covers.
		There's a couple of albums that don't show like Pink Floyd's A Momentary Lapse Of Reason which is odd considering the status of the band and album but there are huge amounts of albums it picks up.

	Synergy: Cords
		Another element of Cords was that for this album I had made a commitment to record at least the first layer of tracks at home and this time, keep them as a part of the final recording instead of having to go back to square one and re-record everything again in the studio.
		On the back cover of Peter Gabriel's second album, there is a daytime shot of Peter near the same location a few days later after the storm, but with him located under the highway structure.
		The album was scheduled for release in September 1978 to coincide with the Peter Gabriel tour.

	Tentative Review by The Christopher Currie: Synergy - Electronic Realizations For Rock Orchestra
		It's also the only Synergy album that non-hardcore progressive fans are likely to have heard of (and even this is far from certain).
		In the sense that the album is clearly a product of the mid-1970s, this debate has some relevance; conversely, it is rather unfortunate that a progressive debut this notable is thought of only in such limited terms.
		The album, of course, is entire generated from synthesized technology ("Synergy is the Essence of it all...

		Synergy does have the edge with 'buttons styling' and iControl's buttons are hard coded in, so you can't swap/hack a more stylish set into it.
		Synergy leaves a folder of 'TIFFs' named 'album covers' in your library/application support folder which can begin to add up in file size as it plays and saves through your music collection, iControl does not suffer from this.
		Synergy is great, but it's really annoying that somewhere around verion 0.9 I lost the ability to get it out of my menubar...

	CD Baby: SYNERGY QUARTET: Bar Codes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		Synergy is a strong, groove-oriented collective, and one would be hard pressed to find fault with the sense of rhythm and pulse demonstrated here.
		Synergy is a four-piece band supported on this release by a bunch of enormously talented and experienced special guests, including Trey Gunn (King Crimson) and Jeff Coffin (Bela Fleck).
		Synergy's use of subtle atmospheric backgrounds, solid grooves, a plethora of moods and virtuosity all are part of this essential package that demonstrates Synergy as virtuoso, accomplished musicians and mindful composers alike.

	CD Baby: LARRY FAST/SYNERGY: Reconstructed Artifacts - from webcds (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		Starting with the first SYNERGY album, "Electronic Realizations for Rock Orchestra" recorded in 1975, and through the most recent SYNERGY release "Reconstructed Artifacts" in 2002, Larry's ten albums of electronic music have been on the cutting edge of studio production techniques and the development of new music technologies.
		Respect for the music composition and electronic arrangements heard on the SYNERGY albums have led to wide-ranging work with a variety of artists in many styles over the years.
		The shimmering electronic textures of the first SYNERGY album in 1975 led to an invitation for Larry to come to Europe and work with the distinguished British-German band Nektar, then enjoying top 20 success in the US.

	Landmarq: Thunderstruck/Science of Coincidence/The Vision Pit
		She's not only doing the vocals on th is album, she's also taken part in writing and co-writing the main part of the albums lyrics.
		On this album you can hear a revitalis ed Landmarq with a better and much more appropriate vocalist, and a development in the song writing since the previous album "The Vi sion Pit".
		Maybe this album is more laid-back and commercial than "The Vision Pit", and some may consider it to be to poppy, but I think it's a step forward compared to their previous album.

		I thought it might be a good time to explain how to add album art to your existing iTunes tracks that you ripped from your own CDs (iTunes Music Store purchases have always come with album covers).
		You can also add the album art to multiple tracks at once by selecting all the tracks you want to add the artwork to.
		Synergy stores this artwork in a folder that can be found in the Home Directory -> Library -> Application Support -> Synergy -> Album Covers.

		The album is pure electronic joy: reminds me a lot of Tangerine Dream and early Vangelis, which is to say it's a great piece of electronic music.
		All of Larry Fast's (Synergy) works are worthy, and they were certainly original, but this CD has the makings of a true masterpiece.
		Synergy along with wendy carlos, tangerine dream, vangelis, mannahein steamroller create music electronically painting a picture of landscapes and textures that take the listener along a musical journey.

	MetalReview.com - Metal Review of Extol - Synergy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		This is certainly not a bad album, fans of Progressive metal & Metalcore take heed: Extol have seriously started along a path that more blends these styles than their former style, some have said this album sounds thrashy...
		Their next album "Gloriana" is supposed to be more in the vein of "Undeceived," but still adding the thrash element that was throughout "Synergy." This is an excellent album and I rank it higher than Chimaira any day.
		The only visual aspect of an album that even deserves mention is the (artistic) layout of the Album cover and disc, and perhaps what the music bring to mind visually in your own head.

	Sofa + iTunes = Lazy man's album covers!
		It won't replace the iTunes front-end for this Mac user but for the lazy guy who simply can't be bothered to scan in those album covers (myself definitely included) it's a great energy saver all round and perhaps offers a capability that Apple might consider including in iTunes in the future.
		Synergy was recommended by several people in the aforementioned article.
		At the moment Synergy is experiencing some pretty unfair troubles with Amazon concerning it's means of access to artwork, but once those are solved then I'm sure it will more than likely offer the right mix of functionality (just give me the artiwork would be good enough) and robustness (please don't hang my machine again).

	Metal Coven - Metal Interviews - Extol
		With each album, they continue to grow as artists and while this may annoy some fans who favored one particular album over the others, Extol can never be accused of allowing themselves to become stagnant.
		From "Paralysis" to "Synergy", we wanted to go more in a technical thrash kind of direction and also on the new album is a huge development.
		Was that just because the "Synergy" album had just come out or is it something where you’re moving away from the older material in a live environment?

	Planet Mellotron Album Reviews: S12
		And here it is. The Serpent is Rising, their third album for the Chicago-based Wooden Nickel label, is similar to the band's other early albums (Styx, Styx II and Man of Miracles), in having elements of what they were to become (for better or worse), but without the killer songs.
		I believe their previous album was something of a letdown, but Life on Other Planets was hailed as a return to form on its release, and it isn't difficult to see why.
		The album is split into three fairly equal virtual 'sides' of material, making a future vinyl release a possibility, giving the CD more of a 'good old-fashioned record' feel than is usual these days.

	Synergy - Cords - Groove Unlimited
		The third Synergy album "Cords" is a more mature effort compared to the previous two, because there's more coherence in terms of composition and because of the fuller and better sound.
		Of all Synergy albums (apart from the later soundtrack to "The Jupiter Menace" of course, for which one of the tracks here was reused as the closing theme), this one has the most obvious connections with the themes of Space and SF often associated with EM.
		In short, there's plenty to savour here on this real "tour de force" of an album, which might well be top of the list in the Synergy catalogue.

	Amazon.com: Electronic Realizations For Rock Orchestra: Music: Synergy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		Electronic Realizations For Rock Orchestra was the debut album from Synergy and was seen as a huge step forward for synthesizers in rock music when it was first released in 1975 and received not only critical acclaim but also positive commercial acclaim also.
		There is one memorable point in the track "Synergy" where two lines of music dance around a single Minimoog tone which ascends from the bottom through the top ranges of the instrument.
		Synergy is a light-hearted piece that showcases Larry Fast's virtuosity with the Moog synthesizer and then new electronic medium.

	Larry Fast/SYNERGY®
		The last I heard from Real World they were attempting to sample my parts to use in the show from the Peter Gabriel albums studio tapes done all those years ago.
		For the moment, my sound logos (or "sounders") -- the over 100 that I created and recorded at the Synergy Studio, and the many more that famous and talented artists have recorded of my little 7-note theme for XM's on-air use continue to be the sonic identifier of the XM programming channels.
		However, recent emails and phone calls from present and former band members indicate that the Book of Days album recording is moving toward completion and future touring plans are being put in place.

	Dave Weckl : Synergy - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Synergy, in fact, is the drummer's most consistently satisfying CD.
		Excessive producing was a major problem on some of his previous releases, but this time he generally avoids overproducing and goes for a real band sound.
		Weckl's band sounds quite cohesive on a diverse, unpredictable outing that ranges from the funky "Wet Skin" and the Latin-influenced title song to the ominous "Cape Fear" and the delicate "A Simple Prayer." If you could purchase only one of Weckl's 1990s albums, Synergy would be the best choice.
