I agree they are good but when I saw them here in Sheffield earlier
this year they didn't have a real tron. Just a white painted box made
to look like a tron but with a sampler inside! He magically played
flutes, violins. brass and choir without a tape frame change. Overall
the thing sounded quite good but I have yet to see anyone get the
intro to Watcher to sound anything like it's being played on some
cheese box! Can any of you guys with the MkII's actually get that
immense "Genesis Live" watcher sound?
