uit een interview uit 1989:
Al: You must have been using pretty primitive electronic synthesizers in the eariy seventies.
Dave: Yeah we were, we just had an audio generator.
Al: Do you try to keep up on that kind of technology?
Dave: Yeah, we try to, but it's very expensive buying equipment. I bought this new M1 Korg and you get this manual for it that is very fucking hard to understand. I just skip what you're supposed to do and just start fiddling around. But then you get frustrated because it doesn't do certain things, "what am I doing wrong?" And then you have to go back to the manual. I brought the manual with me, I said I was going to read it on the bus, but I haven't gotten it out yet!

interview met drummer Richard Chadwick 1989
Al: Are you the only one doing percussion, I mean are you tied in with rhythm machines or sequencers that have percussion tracks?
Richard: There is a drum machine that triggers all the MIDI interfaced synthesizers, that play sequences. The drum machine triggers these sequences, so they all stay in time. I get fed a signal from the drum machine that is a high hat sound "tsp tsp tsp tsp tsp..." in whatever tempo the music is in, and I get that over my headphones so I can stay in time with the synthesizers. With the loud bass guitar it's sometimes difficult to hear the pulse of the synthesizer because it is a much more subliminal sound. So I need the headphones so everything stays solid. All of the synthesizers have percussion sounds in them. I like the idea of saying, well I'll just play the beat and you play all the fills on the synths. The drummers job is to keep the beat, not to be a clever showman.
Al: Who takes on programming the MIDI interfaces and sequencers?
Richard: Dave and Harvey.
