  5. This photograph was proceeded by the this statement.

    "Why don't you come by my place and work on some music? By the way this works much better if you're naked."

  6. Check this out; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tu6GeQJfrI0 The same photo from the post appears in this movie. Apparently the instrument in the picture is called the "Peopleodian." Pretty cool... I found the video when I looked up the documentry, "The King Of Techno" that _ mentioned.

  7. FWIW, Haack used an Optigan on "Captain Entropy" and later used an Electro-Harmonix vocoder. The latter was spotted for sale on eBay a few years ago.
