Graham Massey of 808 State on TD

Post by 24db »

"In 1976 a friend from school got his mum to drop us off at a warehouse near Old Trafford in Manchester (it's now my local B&Q but then it was The Hardrock). A German synth trio had come to visit us called Tangerine Dream. They were promoting their new LP Rubicon (sic). I'd never seen so many keyboards and synths gathered in one place. The image became imprinted on my mind. I was sketching it for the next 6 months in the back of my exercise books, designing new Rigs and even getting my Dad to help me make some new cabinets for a Tone generator he'd brought back from work. I also made a play Mellotron from a Woolworth’s chord organ and my synth was a Rolf Harris stylophone".

Ahhh sweeeeet. I'm guessing that this was before the introduction of the K-Tel Berlin School playset. :wink:
