Stephen says in this interview that he uses a Linndrum.

"At home I use the Roland 808 and the MS-20 for composing and trying out ideas. I record onto a Tascam Portastudio and I've also got a Teac 4-track reel-to-reel."

"As far as drums go we use whatever comes to hand at the time, or whatever we feel like, 707, 909, DMX. If you tune the clave and the clap on the Linn really low strange sort of things happen, so we use things like that as well as triggering the AMS etc."

Whether Blancmange's experiments will continue to be made public remains to be seen since their writing process has recently been enhanced by the acquisition of a pair (one each) of UMI 2B sequencer interfaces, which they use with the BBC micro. They are so chuffed with the UMI 2B that they now regard it as an essential part of the writing, and we waded through to the backroom where they put it through its paces for my benefit.

SL: "We've got these RSD Studiomasters at home, which we discovered by accident in the Sound Centre. Although we've now just bought a TEAC ½in 8-track each, I haven't had time to use mine yet."

NA: "When I saw the Studiomaster, I thought, 'It's a real studio!' Well, it makes you pretend a bit..."

SL: "Before we started the album, I did some music for the Alternative Miss World, all at home with the UMI and the 4-track cassette, and it sounded perfectly all right. Cost nothing, too. Similarly with our demos, we don't have to go to a demo studio unless we want to."
