Does he mean only the studio equipment or did they take everything except from a couple of synths/piano and the guitars? I cannot imagine that he just threw it away or told them to go to the rubbish dump. I mean, there must be equipment for a lot of money there and also the instruments if they took them too. Does anybody know what actually happend to the stuff? Did Mike really just ask them to take it away. Does he plan to sell it at an auction? Or has he put it in a depot/store where he can fetch them again if he decides to sometime in the future? Back to top

All the fuss around fruity loops, it's not an instrument to create musical notes (well, not really, it can), it's just another type of mixing desk and tape recorder. -------------- The answer is 42 - but what is the question?

It does seem that all he kept was a piano, few keyboards and few guitars as used on this new album, and everything else is all brand new equipment but I sure hope that is wrong. God knows what he did with it all, are you hoping to grab yourself a bargain or piece of MO nostalgia, good luck! -------------- I hate getting up early. I didn't even realise there were two 6 o'clocks in one day! Back to top

It's only electronic equipment he sold - i.e. no guitars, harps, bells, aeromodellers toolkits or anything like that, but synthesisers as well as the studio gear. Mike feels that electronic equipment can now be replaced by a computer running the relevant software. Back to top
