In Issue 6 of Future Music, April 1993 RDJ states:
"I really hate the idea of using other people's equipment - I've got a
bit obsessed, I suppose," he admits. "I don't want to use pre-programmed
drum sounds, I've used modified [Roland TR] 808 sounds on "Ambient
Works", but that's because the tracks are around four to five years old.
Fact or fiction? I don't know but I've always been a bit sceptical of
RDJ's 100s of unreleased tracks, started when I was 12, made all my own
gear hype.
