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.

A lot of artists are like that, arrogant mother fuckers, ie. Jeff Mills. That moulignane' prick-face was supposed to do a Canadian tour and he canceled because the organizers wouldn't give him twice what he was initially set to be paid for. He can also suck a dick because he was proud of his decision to sell his 303.

You want cool dudes? The members of Astral Projection. I was in front of them for 2.5 hours during their live performance here in Montreal and at one point I was like screaming out songs for them to play, and the main guy then clicked his mouse on the computer and got the next track ready...went to his mixing console, signaled the other member on the JD-800, and lo and behold, he played pointed right at me and "Mahdeveva" started to play.

Poor Silver Droid.

Astral Projection???
"mouahhhahhaaaaaaa"
Whats up those stupid vocals???

Dude, read your own post silver droid.
You were in front of them for 2.5 hours and screaming and yelling??? Are you some groupie or what? I think they do that at Britney Spears concerts and The Back Street Boys...

Dude, your comparing some no name candy raver programmers to Jeff Mills?

I would rather listen to Yanni! pfffft.

Are you a dealer of crack or do you just enjoy smoking it, Pedicelli???

Astral Projection used to be fucking amazing. But I think they went a tad shite since that 'Another World' album... their newer tracks just don't sound like, I dunno, they haven't worked on them hard enough, you know?
Anyone who knocks 'em should check out their album Dancing Galaxy. Oh and the original mix of Kalabalah (yes I know I've spelled it wrong)...

Well if you what moodyness, go to the above mentioned E-Bloc record shop.

Saying that, it has improved since John Berry took over, who after all is a very pleasent bloke with none of that ego shit. And he's resident at the Orbit, so he could easily have his head up his arse.

there was a 303 burbling away on "the only way is up" by yazz and the plastic population (they`re called coldcut nowadays) which went to number 1 in the uk in like 87 or 88. Just thought I`d add that. I guess the US is just a bit backwards on such matters :0)

Woh, woh, woh. James, man...suck a dick! Astral Projection takes out that fucking moulignane anyday. They've become my favourite artist of alltime.

And they defintely did not go down the tube with Another World. A lot of their good tracks are off that album and they were able to progress with their sound.

Of course, they'll alltime bests are "Mahdeva", "People Can Fly", "Dancing Galaxy", "Ambient Galaxy", and a bunch others.

I first got into Astral Projection when a mate lent me a tape of their album which had 'People can fly' on it. The album that came out before Astral Files. What was it called? Is it still possible to get hold of it?
