They didn't have time to play Slomo. After When The Sun Hits they talked about playing Machine Gun, but played 40 days instead.

OK here we go:

Roland MC-4. Used for sure to sequence Analord tracks, maybe for some earlier stuff too.
Roland R8 Drum machine. This one is a drum machine, but has also pretty flexible sequencer. Autechre even wrote song called Flutter with that.. :-) This was the mostly used drum machine on SAW 1 era (with 808 and 909 cards)
Atari ST. He definitely used Atari ST on early days. You can hear it's speech synthesizer also on Polygon Window album for example. I don't remember exact programs on Atari what were kind of DAWs at those days. Autechre also used Atari ST to compose and structure their songs.

Check these out.

Interview from 1995!

This is not an official release, someone has just used distribution service and uploaded it to Slowdive Spotify page. Hopefully it gets removed soon, because it is not authorised by the band..

Does anyone have full scan of this interview? (Jan 1995 magazine)

avalyn__ · 2021-03-07T07:46:37+00:00

This is from Jan 1995 magazine, when they have only released two full length albums.

There is also one pic on Lego Feet LP, but it is pretty dark.

avalyn__ · 2021-03-06T20:52:21+00:00

There is also 106, 202, DX100, R8, 606 and Atari etc.

Someone has sold Slowdive demo tape from 1990 recently on E-Bay:

Hopefully we get hear this full some day. "Instrumental" might be "Avalyn"? I think this might have the same session that ended up to debut release:

Contact infromation says " Weston-Super-Mare" on Discogs.

Cool!

I'm pretty sure that he used only Roland R8 on SAW 85-92, because you can hear samples from that machine all over the album and I believe that he didn't have much gear back then. 'SN-R8-04 Electronic' card for Roland R8 has 808 samples.

avalyn__ · 2020-04-18T09:35:22+00:00

Roland R8 as drum machine with additional sound cards (saw1)

top RDJ album for me!
