Subject:CX-3s FEATURED IN RECORDINGS?

I had posted this a week or 2 ago (on Clonewheel only) and got no replies.
So I'll ask again... can anyone point me in the direction of CDs upon which
the organist plays a CX-3? As I said in the last post, I've already heard D.
Sherinian's CX-3 work on Planet X's "Live From Oz"... I was aware of the Korg
only in the 1st track and it sounded more like padding than anything else,
and in very small quantity.

My musical tastes run pretty wide, but for the most part I'm "about" J.
Smith/J. McGriff/J. McDuff jazz/blues, and equally if not more so prog rock
wizardry (just got the Focus DVD the other day... Van Leer's as amazing as ever!).

One would think that this amazing instrument (I'm referring to Version 2 but
the original CX-3, the c. 2001 one, is fine too) would've been heard on a
million recordings by now. Though I have a Leslie I most often use my Grado
SR80 'phones (as I live in a studio apartment), and this is the best clone (to
me, yeah, yeah) I've ever played... I got the XB-2 back in 1992; in '99 I
"went with" the XK-2... and in 11/02 bought the Version 2 CX-3, and as I've said
in previous postings, every time I play it's a novel and eminently satisfying
experience, like no other organ, clone or tonewheel, I've ever played (my
M-102 is a close runner-up though). However I firmly believe there IS no BEST
clone... whichever one DOES IT for ya is THE one...

Any suggestions re CX-3 CDs, I'll really appreciate it! Thanks to all in
advance, and best wishes for the remainder of the summer - Adam
