Hello 
This is my first post on this Forum.
I'd like to present of my list of Mike's Albums in which he used Farfisa, Lowrey, Hammond, other electric organs and the short analysis:
a) TB - in the Intro I hear Farfisa Professional (222) Organ (probably the Sustain Harpsichord voice) and from 4'15'' to 4'43'' Farfisa Compact Duo from a tape. From Fast Guitars (5'55'' ) to Blues (12'30'' ) Mike plays on Farfisa Professional except the time period from 9'12'' to 9'39'' in which is Farfisa Compact Duo from a tape. From about 12'40'' I hear Lowrey with Farfisa Prof. and quite later alone Lowrey with guitars and tubular bells before the Finale. In the Finale of Part 1 Mike plays only on Farfisa Professional.
In Part 2 from the first minute to the middle of this track He use Farfisa Professional (prob. the Flute [or Clarinet] voice).
Lowrey Organ appears in the Peace and Guitar Bagpipes section. Third electric organ - Hammond is used only in the piece after the Caveman (or Piltdown Man) song.
b)HR - Part1: Gemini Organ: from 0'00'' to 8'10''; from 9'30'' to 13'20'' and from 20'40'' to the end. Farfisa Prof. Organ: from 2'08'' tp 4'04'' and from 13'22'' to 20'15'', Lowrey Organ: from 13'22'' to 14'58'' and from 17'41'' to 20'15''.
Part 2: Gemini: from 6'30'' to 9'30'', Farfisa: from 0'03'' to 5'20'' and from 5'58'' to 7'10'' and from 15'35'' to the end. Lowrey: probably from 11'57'' to 14'23''.
c)O - Part1: Lowrey Organ plays on the end of the first section (before the Orchestral Bass Drum and Trumpets); Farfisa Prof. Organ: it plays with the Guitars sounding like the Bagpipes and Bodhran in the part before the famous Ommadawn Finale. In the beginning of the Finale plays other electric organ (maybe Farfisa?) or Mellotron (Bass Flute voice?)
Part2: There are Farfisa and Hammond Organs. Farfisa plays in the first piece (with Accordion, Guitars, Flute). Hammond is audible in the part with Flute, Glockenspiel and El. Guitar of course:) and in the On Horseback song.
d)INC: In the Part1 I hear Farfisa Profesional with the Trumpets and String Orchestra. In the Part2 the same organ plays with El. Guitar, Roland SH2000 and ARP Solina (in piece before the Trumpet which plays The Hymne to Diana). In Part 4 Farfisa is audible in the Ode to Cynthia as the background sound.
e)PLAT: In Part2 called Platinum I hear Farfisa (or Vox Continental) as the background sound which plays with the Electric Guitar and Drums.
f)CRIS: In the Intro Mike uses Farfisa Professional (see inlay card)
g)AMAROK: Mike plays on Farfisa, Lowrey and Vox Cont. Organs in various parts for example: Farfisa is in the Boat piece (with the Piano and African Drums and Glockenspiel)
h)TB2: In Sentinel, Dark Star, The Bell and The Great Plain I hear Farfisa Professional Organ. In Clear Light, The Sunjammer, Tattoo and Maya Gold I hear l Hammond Organ (see inlay card)
i)VOY: in The Song of The Sun and Dark Island Mike uses electric organ - probably Lowrey Spinet Organ.
j)TB2003: Farfisa Professional appears in: Fast Guitars, Blues, Finale, Caveman; Farfisa Compact Duo (from the tape) is in the Introduction and Latin; Lowrey is in: Latin, Blues, Jazz, Thrash, Peace and Bagpipes Guitars. Hammond appears only in Ambient Guitars.

And I'm still wondering if it's a big organ model, like the Hammond, or a compact electric organ like the Farfisa.
