Howdy,
I thought Dolby used a PPG computer from Tangerine dream's light system to trigger simmons modules. Was the linn on his 2nd and later albums?

Ha ha!! You cant pull the wool over anyone at LD!!!
It was a rough guess!! The Linn being the "sound" of the 80´s. I just
picked a random 80´s sounding star! I had NO IDEA whether Thomas Dolby
had used a Linn!
TBH, I never like the sound of the Linn... or how it was used at least. That huge snare... YIKES.. but I do hear touches of it creeping into some of my mixes from then too.. Even the alternative side of the 80s had HUGE snares... Sisters of Mercy or Killing Joke or Bauhaus, both great bands from my memory.. HUGE SNARES!!!
ps I suppose its pretty easy to see from that list what colour clothes I wore in the 80s?? (still do Im afraid...
