The Moog Cookbook

The Moog Cookbook is the name of an electronica band made up of Brian Kehew and Roger Joseph Manning Jr. (under the aliases Meco Eno and Uli Nomi) as a parody/tribute to the novelty "Moog records" of the late 1960s and early 1970s. The duo performs exclusively on analog synthesizers, especially moog synthesizers. The liner notes from their first album proudly proclaims "No MIDI".

Moog Cookbook released two albums in the mid-1990s featuring instrumental cover versions of alternative and classic rock tracks performed on analog synthesizers. The pair reunited to record a track for the soundtrack of the 2004 film Moog.

In 2006, the pair independently released a collection of material recorded during their earlier sessions and as part of other projects. This album is Bartell.

Their cover of the song Black Hole Sun can be heard on BBC Radio 2's Radcliffe & Maconie Show as the backing music for their feature 'Stuff & Nonsense'. Mark Radcliffe has previously used several Moog Cookbook tracks as backing music for features on his various radio shows and occasionally name-checks the band on his show.

The band's name is derived from a 1978 cookbook, Moog's Musical Eatery by Shirleigh Moog, the first wife of synthesizer pioneer Robert Moog.
