Hi there,

Yeah... there's more on this list... I was the original keyboard player with
Geisha !

We didn't use a Simmons on the albums but we used a SDS8 once on a demo !

We did own the first Linn 9000 though !

I'll second that!  Real Life were up there with the best of the
post-punk new romantic whatever IMHO.  Berlin, Visage, Ultravox etc. 
"Send Me An Angel" by Real Life should be a compulsory downl... (ahem)
purchase for any Simmons fans.
