Elektron Musical Instruments

I think your "contra" analysis is as fuzzy as anyone that praised the synth
over here... the truth is that we don't know enough yet to make any precise
speculation but we do trust elektron to make something different ; and that
is exciting ; that's all there is...

I don't see why we could not get excited, even if it is about things that
aren't really concrete yet ;-)
