"No, no, I'm just saying that would have been probably a FS1-R [Yamaha sound module], like a DX piano sound through a pedal or something..."

"We’ve got the MKS-80 Super Jupiter with the MPG-80 controller, which is lovely and we’ve used it a lot over the years although it doesn’t get used so much now unless we specifically want an analoguey sound."

"What’s the hardware setup for the live show?

Andy: Probably two Analog Rytms, SH-101, DX100, computer, controllers and a Behringer XR18"

"“We’ve got a Nord Modular that’s lovely and it sometimes gets an outing despite the sound quality not being all that super on it. The capabilities on it are brilliant though, it’s like a massive modular with all it can do."

"What do you remember of the hardware setup you had in the early days?

Andy: We had an 808, 303, 202 and 101, a monophonic digital synth, Akai 950 sampler and a few other analogue keyboards. We hired in an Akai S1000 to record the first EP.

Ed: Also the Oberheim Matrix 12 and Matrix 1000, which were pretty important. Sequencing was initially an Alesis MMT-8 then Dr T’s on Commodore."

"Ed Handley is one of those figures from the story of electronic music whose footsteps we hear on the decks. As we found out at the 2003 Red Bull Music Academy, he enriched the atmosphere of electronica as Plaid and Black Dog during the early ’90s, an era that was characterised by their 808, DX7, 101, BBS, Old Street, poverty and love."
