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? -- Tyler López | tlopez@utexas.edu PGP Key fingerprint: 5E16 32CA 007B 9751 "Keep the channels open."
