Thank you so much for this upload - I was was afraid I would never hear this album again!
lucky to have the album. Take that CBC.
OMG! I heard this playing on BBC 6 Music earlier tonight and immediately recognised it, although the last time I heard it must have been the late 60's. There used to be a TV show that I loved as a kid. It was called 'Toward the Year 2000', with lots of predictions about us all having jet packs, monorail trains and moonbases. This, I'm sure was the title music and I'm not mistaking it for the other show people have mentioned. Futuristic stuff!
forever etched into my mind from watching ''Here Come the Seventies'' . A great tune. Love these synth pioneers!
My friend Steve's parents asked to borrow this album in 1971 because they loved it when I played it for my buddy. That never happened before.

I have the 7” 45 rpm ?
I loved it tillicame
This mellow use of the Moog synthesizer with the Sax in B and C#minor and D#minor evokes nostalgic feelings of youthful expectations for a better world and awe at the marvels of technology to come for the advancement of humankind and the sadness if how difficult it is to change man's inhumanity toward each other.
I saw Syrinx live in Yorkville in the early 70s. Can't remember the venue. It's a shame that the group dissolved after such a relatively short time. They were incredibly innovative and talented.
Who is still here 2020 ?
They played at Ottawa Tech back in the late 60s. Made me fall in love with synthesizers.
As a young girl, teen I listened to this along with later Original Pink cutesy Moog machine on the cover on the front. The sounds would waft from one side of my head to the other. Like the music was traveling through space. It was awesome.
They failed to predict the C(rap} music of today.
From Toronto I saw them play live at the University of Toronto and at York Univercity I beieve in 1970's they blew me away.
Good memories!
Wasn't this the opening, or closing, to a series I used to watch in the US called "Toward The Year 2000" ?
A terrific album.
Finally after all these years available on iTunes , well worth 79p for a piece of history
Excellent! I was thinking of uploading this some day. I still have the LP. :-)
From behind the grade three teacher at our school looked exactly like the girl who walked into the lake and disappeared at the beginning of every show.
Remember this theme. We thought this sound was so futuristic at the time, which it was.
amazing, still so amazing
Syrinx was a Toronto-based band active from 1970 to 1972. John Mills-Cockell (synths,keyboards) moved to BC (Vancouver Island), put out several solo LPs, and composes & produces music, mostly for tv, film & theater. Doug Pringle (sax) stayed in T.O., was in another band "The Poles" and now has a media production company "Peak Media". Alan Wells (hand drums) returned to his hometown Halifax but died in 2010.
OMG same!
Makes me almost cry, thinking what we thought of things to come, all turned into more of the same
Theme song from Here come the 70 s- a great instrumental from an age much more gracefull than now.
Me too !!
Love it !!!
