If I could get my hands on just 3 of these things, I would be dam happy. :D

Thats quite a setup...Oh my, Im getting shivers just looking at the list X-D

Totally! They gotta have insurance on all this gear, you know, trunkin it along every concert they do. You know, they made their first song "Song to the Siren" with just an Akai sampler and an Atari computer. Thats really saying alot. You could have all the gear in the world, but unless you got new ideas and motivation, that gear is worthless. I bet they know every piece of hardware they own inside and out. :)

Yess, thats a list from 1998. More examples, they're also running a Power Mac G4 now, and S6000 samplers from Akai.

I remember T&E saying that they upgraded to Logic because it worked better with Pro Tools. Have you guys noticed that a lot of these electronic artists actually use older computers, like really old Atari ones. Do you know why that is? Less Audio/MIDI Latency maybe?

I like your sig btw

Because of system stability I guess.

I thought it was pretty cool how in CWU...the Chems stepped back from distorting the guitars and let the natural sound of them come through. I think it's Tom that plays the guitar...he was the one in Ariel correct? :-?

Thats what made CWU an excellent album. Im pretty sure he played guitar in ariel, but Im never sure.

He was a bass player.

CWU has a lot of different styles in it. lot of moods....that's what made this album so special for me.
