From the linekd interview:
CZB: What kind of drum machine is this? Dan Boeckner (Handsome Furs): It's a Korg Electribe MX and it is not very well liked in the electronic music community. It's kind of looked down upon. Basically, Korg made this machine to compete with the Roland Groovebox, which was a more professional sequencer that combined all of their previous drum machines, like the 808, the 909 ... so Korg came up with this idea that they would make this machine that was really not for live performances. It was for kids in the UK to make drum'n'bass in their homes, pretty close to the mid-nineties. It was never really meant for live performance and all the sounds on it are very specific to this era. In the successive years in them making the new models of the machine, they never updated any of the sounds. The great thing about it is you can go through it and de-program it completely. You can take the sounds and tear them apart and put them back together again – and the work flow is very simple, because it's made for amateur electronic musicians, which I think is why the electronic community looks down on it – but it's great....Yeah, I think we're one of the only bands that makes albums using this machine, so that kind of makes me happy.
