Awesome - thanks for sharing!

"part of what i like about drum machines, they are awkward. they some how have become cool but they've inherit being the nerdiest equipment ever made. there is no such thing as cool electronic music. like put sunglasses on an electronic musician, give him a cool photoshoot and a cool haircut, deep down he's a nerd who read star trek books when he was growing up. like any electronic musician... and i've been trying to be cool at times, like when i've seen an electronic musician doing a cool pose in a photoshoot, i'm thinking you're a nerd, you've spent your time with computers like me, we're not cool"

"I believe that's referred to as intelligent drum & bass, which obviously means there's a genre of stupid drum & bass out there" (John Peel)

I'm really confused as to where he's getting his info on some of those drum machines. Throughout that entire interview, he was calling well known drum machines "undiscovered". The only one he got right was the wurlitzer, which is mostly unknown and incredibly rare.

His statements about analog signal paths didn't make any sense, either.

always had mixed feelings with this dude but when it comes to music he is great. its just all his vegetarian, bicycle-stuff i cant handle. i got some ideas for my own studio with the drummachine shelfes. kinda neat.

What a tool.

"no one uses drums in boxes anymore.... ...and I understand. If I had a synth company I would make plugins, because you don't have to build the box."

3 minutes later into the video:

"Do you use all the equipment that you buy?

...especially with the drum machines. They all work, but most of them are for show. When I get the drum machines, I get them in here and sample individual sounds. Because it makes it a lot easier to use them. And then they just stand out there looking pretty."

I can't stand this guy. He's not a musician, he's a geeky collector that happens to be a musician.

what

For a collector, he sure is uninformed about what he collects.

I have a strict rule that if I don't use something for a certain amount of time, it gets sold or traded. If it's a drum machine, I'll typically spend a few days sampling it before selling it.

My Andromeda, Prophet VS, and several other things are for sale right now for exactly that reason.

Re-read your last line, and realize it makes no sense.

Moby is a more accomplished musician than most of us, or possibly all of us can ever hope to be.
