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. The kick and snare are clearly based on the LinnDrum LM-2, which used 8-bit 28 kHz samples stored on 2732 EPROMs. What sequencer was Marcus using in 1984? A Roland MSQ-700 or early MIDI software on a computer? -- Tyler Andersson *PLONK* filter active for trolls.

Nothing beats real acoustic drums. Synthesized drums sound dated the moment the decade ends. -- === Emi Fischer === Dept of Electrical Engineering, INRIA Rocquencourt "We don't sign stars.
