You are just stuck on the fact that you think their R-8 is too obvious,
like you griped about years ago when it came out.  This LP isn't about
ultra-clever programming, it is about a very positive and solid Detroit
soundtrack to a post-industrial future.  It ain't a good LP to pick apart
for what gear made it, because it doesn't have any clever magic, just
beautiful tracks.

I'm the person looking to trade it, and I'm only willing to do so to get
toward attaining some great old Bill Nelson (instr-synth tracks), who I
know you respect, so help me out here CHE!!  ;-)
