I like Kirk a lot - he's the same age as me so he must be a good egg (!) Plus he's one of the people I challenge myself with to see if he's ever made a bad record. I certainly don't own any duffers by him. Problem is - despite the fact that my record collection is peppered with his releases from year dot, I'm not sure I can hear the spell-binding difference in the sounds he comes up with, with that rig and the sounds that it's possible to get from a mid-range analog/digital synth. I just can't. I still like the last 3 LPs though, so don't get me wrong, but I just think he could have saved himself some money or something! Just mo. Having said that, it does illustrate that this software vs. hardware debate currently raging is not really a 'new paradigm' problem. The same debates could be heard between advocates and detractors of acoustic vs. amplified, synths vs. guitars, and naturally, modular versus stand-alone (or whatever they're called.) So long as you know that such debates are usually futile, I guess they can be fun and instructive.
