I'm not talking about Phuture and the like, and i know Haircut 100 used a 303 but did the TB ever penertrate the top 40 in the synth pop day's of the 80's?
Maybe A-Ha used one or god dam'it maybe even Jonny Hate's Jazz.

Get this....did you know that "A Guy Called Gerald" is somewhat responsible for spreading the word and popularity of the 303?

After the first wave of acid (1989) had started to die out here in the UK, A Guy Called Gerald change his style to a more housey vibe then eventually drum and bass, I never really cared much for his later stuff but his early stuff was very good.

808 fuckin' State. Graham Massey was the brain behind the good old Manc techno gods. Here in Manchester they did their own radio show (sunset 102) and were one of the reasons i got in to acid techno in the first place. So 'gods' isn't to strong a word in my mind. Oh, and they ran the Eastern Bloc shop. And they once did the n.y.e Manchester megadog.
........In your face!
