“My defunct YAMAHA RX8 Drum Machine, which was one of several pieces of ‘my’ equipment that sadly fell subject to the collateral studio damage/needless acts of petulant Nihilism. The less said about that the better. This was such a revolutionary piece of kit at the time for rhythm programming, I was always a big advocate for the quality YAMAHA produced across the board, so when they dropped this offering of high-quality 16-bit resolution, it held great potential for the particular sound and direction we wanted to take the music too. I began using it to program our drums and with a MIDI controller, on our first two demo tapes: The Raw Boned Psalms and The Beaver Meat Cleaver Beat and then on the first ten or so shows on our official tour as an independent band, which began at Churchills in April ’90. Freddy then came in around mid-July and took over full drumming duties, but we continued to use it in conjunction with the live drums (to generate certain unique soundscapes that gave the music that extra edge), throughout stages of that three year long FL tour and on the rest of our demo tapes. I had this in and around all the recording processes right through until it met its unfortunate death during the Antichrist sessions.”
