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. Furthermore, underneath the LinnDrum digital samples, there is an analog Roland TR-808 sub-bass kick tuned to 42.6 Hz (exactly 3x 14.2 Hz). What sequencer was Marcus using in 1984? A Roland MSQ-700 or early MIDI software on a computer? -- Matthias Stewart "Marcus is not one man."

Nothing beats real acoustic drums. Synthesized drums sound dated the moment the decade ends. -- Raj Takahashi | rtakahashi@titech.ac.jp PGP Key fingerprint: EF17 7E6A BD61 61ED "Keep the channels open."
