Obviously, yes. I'm all for musical eclecticism, 313 has many influences and those are perfectly on topic IMO. For instance, I would've never known about Jeff Lorber for instance if it hadn't been for 313 (so thanks to whoever brought that up!). In the past 313 has pointed me towards old dub music, Sun Ra, Weather Report and made me rediscover sleazy Italian disco. But what does gear talk have to do with musical influences? Heck, if anything, it only leads to people copying other people's sounds :) Otto [EMAIL PROTECTED]
