If you’ve really been aching to see Ms March with a monster synth, the APC crew has got you covered.
While the site of a large modular synth, a Roland TB 303 or a Fairlight CMI III is titillation enough for most synth freaks, the 2010 APC calendar goes a step further.
Here’s what APC’s Simon Iddol has to say about their 2010 calendar:
The calendar itself is a limited edition (500 copies) A3 sized wall calendar featuring legendary synths like Fairlight CMI III, Roland TB 303, PPG Wave, EMS AKS or Roland Jupiter 8.
Our aim is to create a calendar like this in every year and to do something for the music world like the Pirelli calendar for the car world.
If every garage has a hot chick VS cool cars calendar, than every studio needs our calendar.
The model is a world famous Hungarian striptease dancer and model Dorothy Black.
The politically correct side of me thinks that they should have balanced out the gear photos featuring the “world famous Hungarian striptease dancer” with some shots with a hunky naked guy – but photos of naked guys with monster synths would probably kill the vintage synth resale market on eBay forever.
The calendars are $30 via PayPal. Details at the APC site.
