[sdiy] MacBeth M5 mp3s on website!

[Peachey, Dave]

David,

You're as bad as Mr Maddox . . . ;-)

He takes a pop at the people who review and sell UK EM, you have a go at the
people who make!  Is there any hope for the UK EM scene with such supporters
as yourselves :-)

Anyway, IMNSHO:
 - the pinnacle of synth music is Klaus Schulze' Mirage - everything since
is dross
 - monophonic modulars are the only synthesizers on which one can make
proper EM
 - all digital synths are rubbish
 - etc.

Yours, with tongue firmly in cheek
