correct, he used lots of whatever was popular at the time before
and after the article too. I think that article helped give him the
purist reputation and was probably true just at that time --I think it
was around erasure's "I Say I Say" album.
anyway I can say that that album, if I got the name right, is
extremely well crafted, heavily multitracked and is full of self
programmed analog drum sounds which are a great break from
the sampled loops or X0X machines of others
So, I think he dosen't like modern computer based MIDI
sequencers and still might not.
those who think that should check out earlier interviews with him
also, the Keyboard 2/90 issue for instance where he's playing in
the pics on a D50 and talking about racks of midi gear along with
how nice his Akai sampled 909 drums are. I'm pretty sure he did
some 1980s ads for Casio too.
