Bernard Sumner

Singer, Guitarist

Joy Division

Verified via YouTube

According to the BBC Documentary "Synth Britannia" Bernard combined the Bontempi B8 with the Solina Strings Synth when writing the song "Atmosphere". It isn't clear if these synths are what ended up on the final recording. Bernard said it was a Wurlitzer. However, I believe he was mistaken as what he described and what BBC shown was the B8.
