Shakta uses a System 100m, Ree K. has a gearlist which made me cry (do a websearch on Rie Kurihara or Ree. K), nearly ever band uses at least a 101 and juno-1...you *need* analog to make those whacked out noises. And, yes, it is NOTHING LIKE DAFT PUNK :) For those looking to actually *hear* some of this stuff, there are some really good mp3 sites up on the web, and tons of comps you can buy at Tower or whatever. I'm mainly going off about it because, while techno can be an annoying topic on this list, many of the members may appreciate goa/psytrance for its exploration of analogue textures and layers...the music is really based on timbre metamorphosis. justin
