Funny thing about DE909: Richie did it at his new years eve party, Epok, but he had what appeared to be a larger array of instruments. I could make out a 303, an SH101 keyboard, and an 808. All I heard, though, was the 909. Maybe I didn't stay long enough to hear him use them (I left at 4:30am). I was, however, disappointed that I never heard any of the extra stuff being used.

Bass, chords and/or a melody line of some semblance are what tell a story or touch a soul. Barring that, only afro-influence layers of drums/congas can take its place. I'm sorry but my soul is a bit more vast than minimal. I miss the Richie that could beat some DETROIT ass with a slammingly smooth tech-house set.... humbly offered..... >From: Kevin Conrad <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: 313@hyperreal.org >Subject: Re: [313] Richie Hawtin - DE909 >Date: Thu, 16 Aug 2001 06:21:44 -0700 (PDT) > > > the 909 is a great tool to make a track, but it > > doesn't make a track by > > itself. i'm sorry, but those damn handclaps and > > snares do sound old after > > about ten seconds if there's nothing else happening > > in the 'song'. > >That's why I get bored when he bangs away on it.
