Moog Music published an official studio video titled "Face to Face with Flight to London" that documents Jimmy McGorman and Robb Vallier recording the two-song EP "The Moog Sessions." The short documentary is presented as a behind-the-scenes look at Flight To London, the synth-pop collaboration of McGorman and Vallier, and the video description invites viewers to "Step inside the studio with Flight To London, the synth-pop collaboration of Jimmy McGorman and Robb Vallier, for a behind-the-scenes look."

The paired project is described in the available material as a short documentary plus a two-song EP, with the film centering on the duo’s recording process. Beyond the project titles, the supplied information does not include track names, run times, credits, or a release schedule for "The Moog Sessions" EP; no producer, engineer, or label attribution for the Flight To London release appears in the excerpts provided.

Flight To London is explicitly named as the collaboration between Jimmy McGorman and Robb Vallier, and the material frames the project within synth-pop practice. The supplied texts contain no direct quotes from McGorman or Vallier, and no personnel credits list additional musicians, mixing engineers, or directors for the studio video, leaving those details unconfirmed.

The new material appears alongside broader Moog activity involving archival-style sessions and a label initiative. "Moog Recordings Library is new record label established specifically to release limited editions of recorded works, sessions, concerts, and audio experiments utilizing The Moog Sound Lab UK (Est. 2015)," the listing states, and it announces a launch slate of three album-length sessions: The Grid, cataloged RDM 102CD/LP; Mika Vainio, RDM 109CD/LP; and Hieroglyphic Being, RDM 121CD/LP. Each of those releases is described as "an album length session recorded with The Moog Sound Lab UK."

The material gives technical and institutional context for The Moog Sound Lab UK: it is identified as established in 2015, an open loan studio from Moog Music Inc (USA) designed to encourage new electronic works and welcome UK-based artistic and public access to high-spec analogue and digital instruments. The portable studio is described as "specially designed by Moog Inc and is centered around one of their rarest instruments, the 2014 limited edition reissue of their legendary 1960s System 55 analog synthesizer." The listing text also contains a truncated fragment reading "... like Jamal Moss."

The provided excerpts stop short of tying Flight To London explicitly to The Moog Sound Lab UK or to the Moog Recordings Library slate. It is not stated whether "The Moog Sessions" was tracked in The Moog Sound Lab UK, whether the System 55 reissue is audible on Flight To London’s two tracks, or whether the Flight To London EP will be issued on the new Moog Recordings Library catalog. Those confirmations, plus release dates, distribution formats, track titles, and full credits, remain outstanding in the supplied material.

Moog’s studio film and the label launch language together underline a clear push toward session-based, limited-edition releases and hands-on analogue experimentation, anchored by the System 55 reissue and the 2015-established Sound Lab UK. Expect further details from Moog and from Jimmy McGorman and Robb Vallier as credit lines, release dates, and distribution information are made available.
