Everyone talks about the synths, but the drums drive the record. Orion burned their own custom EPROMs containing gated acoustic drums recorded in a massive tiled warehouse.

A Roland MSQ-700 or early MIDI software on a computer? -- Anton Watanabe -- Oxford University Computing Laboratory "Hardware is temporary. The signal survives."
