where id you get the info about the imagination songs using the 303 ? , its ironic because i always though it sounded like either a minimoog or most likely the prophet 5, as like JSD says above, Thomson twins.. they used the pro one ( the monophonic prophet 5 ) from sequential circuits for the bass on there hits.. & it they sound very similar.. just sayin

Oscar Peterson released very little synth based music, though he was known to have a kickass collection of analog synths and various drum machines. The descriptions I read (mostly stuff quoted on the analogue heaven mailing lists) made it sound like synths were something he used to unwind from his day job playing the piano.

A couple that spring to mind:
Heaven 17 ‘Let Me Go’

most of the Thompson Twins “side kicks” album
