LOL...Oh Lord yes, they ARE German, and I am not proud about 
that...:) (Tom=German) But i surely give them credit for doing what 
they mostly get fun out of it. But they started a few years ago with 
a more serious approach. Now noone likes them here in Germany 
anymore, their sound is overused, their CD´s sound all the same now. 
Stomping Electronic beats with Metal-guitars, nothing new in the 
forrest of Nottinghill. 
I am sure artists like Puffy (oh sorry, he calls himself now 
something like Pity...? what a Pity...;))

IMO the AN1x fits in all kinds of music genres...ok except German 
Volksmusik...<grin>, doesn´t Lenny Kravitz use one? Or was that a 
CS1x?
I think same goes for any other gear. Like the CR78 Phil Collins used 
for his Ballads, and nowadays is being used (the samples) in a lot of 
Ambient songs. And hey don´t i even hear a sampled breakbeat in the 
song, that made Dido popular, and she´s by far not a electronic 
musician?
AC/DC, Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, <put a name here> use synthesizer, 
Herbie Hancock, well you all know "Rock It"...:) And that´s Jazz...
When i read reviews about the AN1x or any other synth, people always 
give reviews like this works for Trance, this for Techno...IMHO 
that´s being shortsighted. I am sure you can use a Virus as good as 
for Jazz, Rock, Metal, whatever, as for the modern styles of 
electronic dance music.

Categories doesn´t fit for the AN1x, because a synth is a synth is a 
synth, that can be used everywhere. 

Hm, i hope you get my point.
