I see what you mean, you seem to be an old time user of the P3. I'd
say it complements well analogue sequencers, imitating in some ways,
while being MIDI hence opening many new doors to sound control. The
thing is, I used to learn on one of those Yamaha QX-5 sequencer man it
was such a pain to use and still managed to learn it after time. okay
xOx and analogue sequencer are fun because they're so directly
interacting... but still they are one way amongst others to make
music. each offers things that are unique and to me the P3 made me go
towards new stuff that are not complex evolutions of tangerine dream
themes... the P3 has character and is definitely a musical instrument
in its own right.

I too like that techno sound you mentionned; in fact my discovery of
electronic music grew up to the electronic sounds of Mr Hood and while
still being from a rock'n'roll sound background . Sonic Youth & Velvet
Underground were my favorite bands in my teenage years . Call me an
old buddy but If I dig long enough in my vinyl collection in the
basement, I will for sure find these Djaxx ups again. I used to play
them a lot back in the days, but time has gone, and I've gone to other
exciting things. 2nd wave detroit sound circa 93-94 is also powerful
and I'm sure I still have a forgotten box of records downstairs where
I will find "collectors" that I bought when they first went out :) 
as for the real real real collectors of electronic dance music I was
too young when Cybotron first came out :( but still I know my classics
, and I'm glad to see someone like you actually


> I don�t like mp3 but for all interested on my sound.. please listen
to Robert Hood " movable parts" and early D-Jaxx up beats,  early dark
Detroit techno.. then you�ll understand me.

did he say that ? then if he did, he should have sticked to the
Spastik era cause the rest was just evolutions of his seminal tracks.
Still, he did further great tracks later on. Music overall is changing
and he is still a great musician.
I am personally on a period of heavy rotations of Deep Chord various
releases. Berlin meets Detroit. Maurizio meets Model 500. highly
recommended for peaceful moments . 

cheers,
