When they stood back and listened to the thing after
NAMM that year, were they pleased? A friend of mine
had a T-8 once and we were mutually appalled by the

I guess Ministry, Front 242, Depeche Mode, Jam & Lewis

I think it's beautiful what they managed with only a
Zilog. Was 6809 ever a question?
