was a IIx on the " Song From The Big Chair" album which was released 
in 1985. 

from what I hear, "Change" which was released in the album "The 
Hurting" in 1983 also used a CMI (II ?)

They probably bought a III to prepare the next album.
I remember reading that they starting working on the next album with 
more computers than on Song From The Big Chair... and by the time 
they had recorded all the material, they found the result too close 
from the preceeding album (or too sterile, i don't remember the exact 
wording) and they completely changed their minds and decided to 
record something more "soul".... these gave "The Seeds of Love" in 
1989
I was in love with the IIx in the early eighties and thought "oh 
noooo !" (if someone has the dumped recordings made by T4F around 
1986-1987..., please contact me)

I think that the ex producer of T4F sold a IIx and a III (early 
version if I remember well) on ebay in spring (and also a synclavier)
