Mu-zines

I just wanted to draw attention to the incredible muzines site which is archiving old music technology magazines.

http://www.muzines.co.uk/

I haven't found a review of the SS-30 there yet - and most magazines seem to to be early 80s - but there's plenty to enjoy.

I found this quote from Rusty Egan talking to Electronic Soundmaker - Aug/Sep 1984 - about the first Visage album.

"We used everything on that album. We had a GS2, two Yamaha grands, two ARP Odysseys about three Yamaha string synths, a CS80 and a Minimoog. We used a Fairlight on that album, we had the first one that came over from Australia. Before The Steps it's Peter Gabriel going 'Waugggh, wauggh!'

 And this round-up of stringers, also from Electronic Soundmaker in 1984 :
