Nah, this 10" is far from essential, even if you dig the Ae sound. Its not especially bad as such - Ae just do it better. Feel free to disagree below. Presumably everyones sleeve has unglued by now?

Actually, I believe it's fairly common practice for your more major performers to cover the brand names on their gear unless they are sponsered by that brand, so that they're not advertising. I saw the Swans last weekend and they did it, so it's not exclusive to electronica anyway. (Fantastic show, BTW.) --Seofon

I have never gaffer-taped my Pro One because I thought it was sooo cool it said Sequential Circuits on the back. Ppl should know about Sequential or Synton. It's part of our heritage This is not a post to get worked up about. Allert PS Get Swans over to Holland soooon.
