"This one was one of my first also, probably the third synth I bought. It's been with us since 'She's in Control.' It did us good. 'Woman Friend' is that, and stuff on second album too. Lots of leads, lots of basses. You can instantly go from a great bass to great Minimoog sounding leads. It's simpler and it doesn't take as much room also. It's got a lot of hidden subby low-end that if you want to have that power at the bottom of your track then you have it in there. The Moog Prodigy actually cuts through more than the Minimoog."

Find it on:

"Ah yes, another thing we haven't used much. The snare in 'Night by Night' is a sample of this. But somewhat like the Minimoog, it's almost too ubiquitous. When you start using it you recognize that. What's really amazing about the LinnDrum is that we haven't really ever used it. P has it just to have it for the archives. What's amazing about the LinnDrum is, well obviously the sounds because you hear them like you do in a Prince record, but also it's the internal sequencer because you have that groove that's just like the Prince - that kind of internal swing. You can't really recreate that with anything else. But we don't sequence on those machines, we use an old-school 90s computer sequencer. So we have our own - just have our own groove, as cheesy as that sounds."
