Found this from an old interview when Work came out:-


Has the evolution of musical technology had much of an impact on the way you work?

Paul: "Live-wise, no. I still haven't found anything that comes close to using an MMT8, which is so ancient that it annoys me. I wish I didn't have to use it, because they do crash as much as an Apple Mac. I wouldn't feel comfortable with a laptop on stage. I know lots of people use them, but I find that you just don't get the depth of sound that I want. Of course we use samplers, but even an Emu sampler has a richness that you don't get out of a like a Pro-tools audio card or something like that. If you've got a 909 or a 303, I like to have that actual object there. The sound of those coming out of a PC system unadulterated and pure is such a great sound. And I wouldn't really want to fit them into a hard drive. So live, no, I haven't found anything better than my hardware sequencer. Even the more modern ones are too fussy and don't work in the simple way that I want them to.

So what changed lads????

found! :-
abelton and lemurs and improved stabillity! everything else is still the same! 909 , 303 , tons of hardware :- all still present and correct!

Plus, there's this huge white plugboard at the back which looks like it could connect your call to anyone in the world while at the same time calculate the meaning of life.

Using real synths and machines like 303's and 909's, besides sounding better, is great eyecandy as well.

It's either that or Paul and Phill would have to do some choreography.

3 hours of choreography.

Beta as a support act

1 stylophone too.

I think the 3 hours of choreography would be interesting, as long as the boys had keytars...



Its a winning combination.

Or maybe one of these

That would work a treat; it has 2 mouthpieces!

As Bill Drummond would say, accept the contradictions!
