“I have a Commodore 128 running Dr. T’s Sonus sequencing software, which is great”, he enthuses. “When we were arranging the session with the Wee Papa Girl Rappers, the studio asked me what type of equipment I was going to use. When I told them I used the 128 they had a problem with that. It was like “Oh no, we use the 1040″. I know the 1040’s great, but I’m not used to working with it and I don’t want to work with it. So they got me a 128. It’s just convenient, ‘cos I can do pre-production back home and bring my sequence disks over here. “I’ve been talking to my brother about upgrading to a more powerful computer, though. He’s recommended the Amiga. He uses one and reckons it’s going to be the strongest computer for music.”
