Equipment Used - CS1x & S2000. Sequenced on Cubase, Recorded on Cubase Wavelab. Single Playback, no multitrack recording.

What you have here is the best selection of my various music creations old and new (album - random tunes). All belong to me complete, with exception to using Kraftwerk - The Man Machine samples.
They are what they are, I have never really done any music for any reason but to just enjoy playing with toys and making them. You can play them back & download them for your mp3 players. If you like what your hear and think its worth anything, you could donate 50 pence!
My Full equipent list at september 2009 is: - Novation KS Rak, EMU Audity 2000, EMU XL1, EMU Orbit V2, Novation BassStation, Korg ER-1, Korg KP3, Akia S2000, Yamaha CS1x, Eurorack MX 1604A, Eurorack MX 602A & Yamaha UX256. Software for PC sequencing has always been a version of Cubase.
There is only one bit of kit I would like to get my hands on at the moment and it cost alot of money, Access - Virus TI.
