Yes, A lot of people have sneered at my project's setup. We use old

ZX Spectrum 182k+2.

Hear, hear... I tried to do some 'serious' music in a real studio
once but seemed to lose the dirtyness that had made me feel proud of
what I was doing. It meant more to me as an artist to pull weird shit
sounds out of my MS20 (audio triggered by a TX81Z & sequenced with a
speccy) than to try and work with 'real pro' instruments &
sequencers.
