yes – still a real 80ies design: luv it! real cyan, real grey and plastic!

>   The original sounds he put in mine, were, as you know, done on a
101, he had the CZ-1 from Casio, they were trying Rreally hard to get
that 'Pro market', even in 88,  and knowing that Vince used the 101's
before, they got him interested enough (gave him a Free CZ-1
basically, mine! ) as long as he would use it ''Live'' on Camera,
Stage, Top of the Pops, so he agreed and I can actually Remember them
on Top of the Pops using it, ''Live''  (not a video...)

Vince played the Casios in the "oh L'amour Video" (hidden track in the
HITS! – DVD); get it if you're in erasure; and I've seen the CZ-1 in a
short Interview (guess it was around '87) with "taped" Keys where
Vince triggered his Samples...
I remember that CZ very well – all plastic and a lot of buttons ;-)
Later in the Music store I was very frustrated about the
Preset-Sounds. bulls*it! But Vince plays it so it MUST be cool ...
I picked up the CZ for 600 DM (300 Eur) and jammed all day (my fave
were the 3 Preset Brasses...

man of my word, I have to keep that. (sorry dude : - )

ok... but some nice MP3s from the sounds would be cool!..
