I think you guys have proved my point -- you both use gear that I've tried and frankly hated. It IS very personal; more than that, it ain't what you got, it's what you do with it. After all, AO is the one with the album out on Tresor, and I'm the guy with no hits in the last week on my mp3.com site ;-(
I will say this for the original Roland drum machines: You can play and explore with them in a way that's impossible with a computer & sequencer. kent williams -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
