I own the LM-1, THE LINNDRUM and the LINN 9000.I'm totally insane because these machine have a distinctive feel.s and I love'em.Same goes for the Oberhiem DMX/DX. |
WOW-many thanks for sharing Carl!!!
I've been saying I would start a prince production thread for a while but haven't yet got round to it as yet...
Any more info would be much appreciated-Sign o the times is a f@£$%ng classic album,and production wise constantly still amazes me..
