Once again, great stuff! Cool to see the footage of Peter Gabriel looking for new sounds.

So glad you left out the long comedy bits this episode. It really makes it easier to watch.

I would like to see the top 5 sequencers and their rhythmic impact.

That's a great idea sk8! Perhaps expand it a little bit and include analog sequencers and maybe drum computers too - any sequencing tool.

We are planning a series on beat boxes. Probably for next year. All ideas are welcomed and thanks for watching the show.

There are some weird sounds out there. I remember sampling clay pidgeon shooting on TV into an SK-1. If you play it at the lowest octave it sounds like The Guns from Navarone :) and you did need to rob a bank to get one (as opposed to the Fairlight).

btw. the comedy stuff is what makes the series appealing - there are enough "dry" resources out there for the anoraks to go through.

The fairlight is a really cool instrument and it wasn't just a sampler it was also an incredibly powerful sequencer and synthesizer in its own right. i love the fairlight and if i had the money i'd have one or more of them in my retro-futurist set up deffinately.
