I wonder if whoever came up with ADAT's is foreign to the states...

I don't know... I would pay money to see and hear Lenin playing theremin. Something profound and poetic about it.

Can't decide if the footage should go in a Woody Allen movie or a Ministry video. Both?

Unfortunately, the scene with Lenin playing the theremin is only a re-enactment. I doubt that any actual footage exists. And Stalin probably found the theremin only useful as a heavy, blunt object.

One other interesting topic in the series - a new microphone technique we all need to start using right away. No need to place microphones on bulky stands or run cables all over the live room. Just sit back in the control room on that nice couch we all have behind the console. Bounce a laser beam off of the control room window while the band is playing. Catch the reflected laser beam on a device that can detect the changes in the reflected beam due to vibrations in the window glass. Perfect audio reproduction in glorious mono. But only '60s era Hungarian lasers have the warm tone we're all after.....
