Elektron Musical Instruments

There is an article in The Wire magazine from October 2002(#224) about
game music.  There is a small bit about the SIDstation and Elektron. 
I thought it was neat even though I don't own one.  

There is also a review of C64 SID 6581 Massive on TigerBeat6 in the
same issue.  Any more info anyone?  Brotha P Touch & Lesser? 
Supposedly "a mix CD of music made entirely on the SID chip".

I heard it.  They should be shot for, in many cases, simply playing
old and contemporary tunes into a CD press.  There are some actual
mixes at least.  Probably about 50%.  Probably about 1/4 of the original
mixes really delighted me.  I would never pay money for it myself
when I can hear the originals or emulated for free!   Also, the
whole CD is one, big track, which I find useless.

In short, I liked the tunes, because I've been listening to them
already for years now.  The CD is basically a bunch of suckdogs
capitalizing on the current fad.  I certainly hope AMJ and Tero kick 
their asses, but they don't need to because they're already better 
musicians.
