Last month Moog Music posted the first of a 3-part video interview with Geddy Lee where Geddy talks about Moog Taurus Pedals. The interview was conducted late last year from the recording studio where the band was working on Clockwork Angels. In the first installment Geddy spoke about his first introduction to the Taurus sound, how it influenced Rush's song construction back in the '70s, and the new Moog Minitaur. Geddy also mentions how much of a fan of the Taurus pedals their producer Nick Raskulinecz is and revealed that they used them on a few of the tracks on the new album. You can check out part 1 of the video on YouTube. Parts 2 and 3 of the interview have since been posted to the Moog Music website (part 2, part 3). Part 2 is nearly 5 minutes long and Geddy talks about learning to play with his feet and attempting to get MIDI-like capabilities out of his Taurus 1. Part 3 is about 3 minutes long and Geddy talks about the reintroduction of the Moog Taurus Pedals, performing with them live, and relays a funny story involving the Moog Taurus Pedals and a pregnant friend; the taurus pedals makes babies come faster! You can check out part 2 and part 3 below:

Thanks to bryce for the heads up.
