Funny enough, Tom Jenkinson feels the same way:
Bleepbloop: What was the first piece ofequipment you bought?
Jenkinson: A Roland SH-101. You know that 808 State album, "Newbuild?"
(The famous acid house record with Gerald Simpson, also known as A Guy
Called Gerald. He split from the band after this release). I read an
interview with them, and that was one of the instruments that they used.
I love those like acid-y sounds, so I thought Id get one of them and
muck around with it and try to make some acid tracks. So I bought it,
and started making tracks using just SH-101 and bass guitar.
