TIM SIMENON

according to SOS : In addition, since his early teens Simenon had been dabbling in making his own music with a Dr Rhythm DR55 drum machine and Yamaha CS01 synth. One of his earliest musical memories is trying to programme the beat of the Human League’s ‘Being Boiled’ into the Dr Rhythm. “That was the one beat that I was sort of tapping out first,” he says. “‘Cause I kind of loved the sound of it and the simplicity of it and it was a rhythm I felt I could actually program on the drum machine with some success.

ACCORDING TO THE INTERVIEW IN SOUND ON SOUND : In addition, since his early teens Simenon had been dabbling in making his own music with a Dr Rhythm DR55 drum machine and Yamaha CS01 synth. One of his earliest musical memories is trying to programme the beat of the Human League’s ‘Being Boiled’ into the Dr Rhythm. “That was the one beat that I was sort of tapping out first,” he says. “‘Cause I kind of loved the sound of it and the simplicity of it and it was a rhythm I felt I could actually program on the drum machine with some success.

as for POP MASTERS : Simenon has said that in sticking with one instrument, the Minimoog, and making Conboy a full partner, he wanted to simplify Bomb the Bass and its sound, as well as avoid repeating himself. His aims are commendable. After all, he could've cashed in with Clear part two. In this case, though, simpler also means less interesting, and the sad truth is that a repeat would've been more welcome.
