Alan Wilder Signs Pea Hicks Drumulator

via Pea of http://optigan.com/:
"saw Alan Wilder's RECOIL set last night and managed to get him to sign my Drumulator. This is the drum machine he used heavily on DM's 'Construction Time Again' album, notably on 'Everything Counts.' Also, if you listen to 'Work Hard' (a b-side), they even used the click pulse from the Drumulator as part of the rhythm track in addition to the regular drum sounds.

He told me he still has his, and dug it out recently, but it wasn't working. I also asked him why they chose the more "budget" priced Drumulator at a time when they could have afforded something a bit better like a Linn, and he said 'because we were cheap!'

also, here's a pic of the Recoil set, with Alan playing a Korg MS-20. I'm pretty sure he was just using the filter section, processing stuff from Ableton Live."
