All sounds on this come from an "Uliheim" Behringer UB-Xa, the Oberheim OB-Xa clone, a 16 voice analog synth. The thing is extraordinarily wonky. Someone's attempt at a precision machine with a million ways to go out of tune. It glitches, it pops, it crackles and if you want it to do what you want it to do, the manual will help you fail. Its sound is certainly unique and it's undoubtedly a very powerful knob-box. I would describe it as chaos held together by matchsticks and glue. If you like that sort of thing, which I do, then it's a great synth.

Y'know, the irony is that when I was young and first started doing synth music I took pride in playing fast notes, but now I'm fossilising it takes me half an hour to move one knob one inch. It's an incredible step in human achievement.

This sounds like the followup to Replicant. A real gem with the same powerful, catchy melodies.
One of the best electronic CDs ever. Pickford composes tracks in the Blade Runner style with his own melodies and rhythms. Very catchy and brilliant.

Here the last copy!

He got pre-master source material to use in most cases, so restoring frequencies and tweaking dynamics was, well actually it was a pleasure to be honest. It was just nice to be able to hear the sound come alive from those old recordings. Sure it shows up a ton of glitches here and there, cos those were the days of DAT. The original pre-master was cobbled together on a wing and a prayer, by me and Graham Getty, using 3 DAT machines, a crib-sheet and lot of hope! It worked! 
The additional material has mostly come from the OG Works live albums and Dystopia which, for the sake of these Collectors editions, have willingly given their lives in order to make more sense being associated with the albums and times to which they belong. Allegedly.
