referencing Surfin' Superior, 2x12", C 028

-Was it that long ago..This double pack came about while learning to use my newly acquired novation bass station rack synth. Having the ability to midi sequence the SH-101 and novation over the 202 opened up many of the grooves since I would just jam for a few hours over each track and find which sequences seemed to work before tightening up the editing. The tracks themselves were done in the same manner of the live sets I was playing, just cutting stuff in and out on the fly and jumping through patterns while trying to make it sound somewhat sensible. It became a nice contrast of rigid machine grooves and more free-flowing synth lines to my ears. Hard to believe it's such a "sought after" release, but I still drag my single copy out to play once and awhile.

Side note: Still haven't been sued for those clips from the six million dollar man and star treak on the inside "filler".
